I better quit my talking 'cause I told you all I know But please remember, pardner, wherever you may go The people are building a peaceful world, and when the job is done, That'll be the biggest thing that man has ever done.

If we fix it so's you can't make money on war, we'll all forget what we're killing folks for.

Life has got a habit of not standing hitched. You got to ride it like you find it. You got to change with it. If a day goes by that don't change some of your old notions for new ones, that is just about like trying to milk a dead cow.

I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that.

I like to write about wherever I happen to be.

I have decided long ago that my songs and ballads would not get the hugs and kisses of the capitalistic experts.

Life has a habit of not staying hitched. You got to ride it like you find it.
