I've got enough money to live me two lifetimes so I don't have to do nothing I don't want to.

Poor people have the blues because they're poor and hungry. Rich people can't sleep at night because they're trying to hold on to their money and everything they have.

They wasn't gonna give you nothin'. I didn't care as long as they let me play my music. Cash on the spot... You cheat me and I'm gonna get me some money, too.

When I die, they'll bury the blues with me. But the blues will never die.

I remember back in Detroit, I used to go to the Apex Bar every night after I got off work. The bartender there used to call me Boom Boom. I don't know why, but he did.

Ron Thompson, he's my main man!

No matter what you got, the blues is there
