Well I was born a rambler friends, and I intend to die that way. It could be twenty years from now it could be most any day. But if there ain't no whiskey and wimen lord behind those heavenly doors, I'm gonna take my chances down below and of that you can be sure.

I don't know why I write really depressing songs. I'm a kind of melancholy guy, I suppose. But I figure I'm about normal.

I'd like to write some songs that are so good that nobody understands them. Not even myself.

There are only two kinds of songs; there's the blues, and there's zip-a-dee-doo-dah.

Now the dark air is like fire on my skin, And even the moonlight is blinding

All of a sudden there's a song - there in your hotel room playing your guitar - and you write it, and two or three years later it will come true. It keeps you on your toes.
