More quotes by Waylon Jennings
He gave us all a mind to think with and to know what's right or wrong, he is that inner spirit that keeps us strong.
Waylon Jennings

I might be an endangered species.
Waylon Jennings
Listening to his songs she heard nothing but bad news, still she made her mind up to try to get him win or lose.

Waylon Jennings
Hitting the bottle again, ever than I've drunker been. Or is it drunker than I've ever been?
Waylon Jennings
The men who could not fight, in a war that didn't seem right. You let them come home, America.
Waylon Jennings
Ladies love outlaws, like babies love stray dogs. Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold, outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul.
Waylon Jennings
We got a lot of politicians up there on Capital Hill. Ain't it funny how they prosper while the country stands still?
Waylon Jennings
I've always felt that blues, rock 'n' roll and country are just about a beat apart.
Waylon Jennings
Don't you be so nice to me I fall in love so easily.
Waylon Jennings
The only problem was I needed to use my own group, and things didn't happen until I did. It wasn't a real country sound, what I did. I've listened to it, and I think it was more a west coast rock thing, you know? But it fit. It was country, but it was my own interpretation of country.
Waylon Jennings
But ya know what, I am a part of something that happened. I'm a part of the music that happened. My voice is one more instrument, is what it is. So that's the way I feel about people who “play on sessions.
Waylon Jennings
Is your head up your ass so far that you can't pull it out?
Waylon Jennings
Now, I don't know how they judge all that, but if anybody in the world deserves to be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Ritchie Valens does.

You know, I feel sorry for the young artists.
