But I don't want to do no big tours or go out on the road.

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.

I like dropping into a small club and playing with some people, trying to help them get a start.

Since you knew they was goin' to cheat you anyway, I recorded under any name with all of 'em.

All my life I been doin' what people tell me to do. Now, I'm telling them.

The one thing the blues don't get is the backing and pushing of TV and radio like a lot of this garbage you hears. They choke stuff down people's throat so they got no choice but to listen to it.

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