The spirits, they intoxicate me. I watched them infiltrate my soul. They try to say it's too late for me. Once I was promised absolution, there's only one solution for my sins. And I blame this world, for making a good man evil. Now I ain't getting into heaven, if the devil has his way.

Piano playing is a dying art. I love the fact that I can be one guy with one instrument evoking an emotional and musical experience.

Don't waste your time away thinkin' 'bout yesterday's blues.

I would kick this bad world's ass if I could just get on my feet

Time, ain't nothin, but time. It's a verse with no rhyme, and it all comes down to you.

Any time that you think you've hit the top of the mountain, the truth of the matter is you've just reached another mountain. And it's there to climb all over again.

You think you know me just because you know my name, think you've seen me 'cause you've seen every line on my face.
