That was American Recordings. I said, I like the name, maybe it'd be OK. So I said, I'd like to meet the guy [Rick Rubin ].I'd like for him to tell me what he can do with me that they're not doing now.

I worked there [on Pontiac] three weeks, got really sick of it, went back home and joined the Air Force.

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line.

Jesus will not fail me, I shall not be moved.

When I get an idea for a song it would gel in my mind for weeks or months, and then one day just like that, Ill write it.

When I was arrested I was dressed in black

What I said, what are you [Rick Rubin] going to do with me that nobody else has been able to do to sell records with me?
