You know, I feel sorry for the young artists.

So I'm not very popular here with those inside the system, as you might guess. I never wanted to be.

Heaven is laying in my sweet baby's arms, hell is when my baby's not here.

I ain't got no reverse. I've learned, a little later in life, it works out pretty good to have one every once in a while.

But Buddy was an upper. He was happy. He loved music, and he was really happy. I don't know... I don't believe in reincarnation at all, but if all that stuff is true, then he might have been on his last time around.

I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.

What bothers me most is that I don't bother you.
