On the road again, goin' places that I've never been. Seein' things that I may never see again, and I can't wait to get on the road again.

When I left Nashville I went to Texas because that's where I came from, and because I was playing in Texas a lot in different places. And I saw hippies and rednecks drinking beer together and smoking dope together and having a good time together and I knew it was possible to get all groups of people together - long hair, short hair, no hair - and music would bring them together.

A frozen river is not a dry one, it's just a still river on the surface but is still moving, and so am my winter writing.

If I started drinking again, there would be a lot of people bringing me pot because I can't handle alcohol. I just am not a good drinker. I get a little alcohol in me and I start trying to change the world, and that's not good. A lot of people are the same way. So that's why I don't drink anymore.

And as far as guitars go, I loved Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West's stuff.

You could try to live monogamously. Good luck.

America, to me, is freedom.
