I'm proud to be an Oakie from Muskogee, a place where even squares can have a ball. We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse and white lightning's still the biggest thrill of all.

The one true friend I thought I'd found, tonight the bottle let me down.

They shaved a little piece of bone off my small toe. You see, you balance yourself a certain way and this toe had grown under the other ones. So he cut it loose, where I could balance myself and it makes me walk straight.

Faith is the only way we're going to make it. None of us are smart enough to do it on our own.

The turn I made was not the one I planned. And I watched my social standing slip away from me, while I watched the bottle slowly take command.

Before the Beatles and yesterday, when a man could still work and still would.

There's just a few people that call themselves stars can actually sit down with a guitar and sing you a song.
