More quotes by Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings
I love Johnny Cash, and I respect Johnny Cash. He's the biggest. He's like an Elvis in this business, but no, he's never been the rebel.
Waylon Jennings
There's always one more way to do things and that's your way, and you have a right to try it at least once.
