Waylon Jennings
I was king of the mountain for a long time, well, I don't want that no more. I like to perform every once in a while for people who want to see me, and cut albums of music that is what I'm really about.

Waylon Jennings
Did ole Hank really do it this way?
Waylon Jennings
You know, in the days when I started, if you had Chet Atkins' name on your record as a producer and it was on RCA, you could work the road. It didn't have to be a big hit record, it just had to have that on it.
Waylon Jennings
Country music isn't a guitar, it isn't a banjo, it isn't a melody, it isn't a lyric. It's a feeling.
Waylon Jennings
Mainly what I learned from Buddy... was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it.
Waylon Jennings
Heroes put to the test, keeping a promise, doing their best.
Waylon Jennings
I can't walk, so I can't go home. No need to talk, cause I'm all alone. If I stay here they're gonna lock me in, hitting the bottle again.
Waylon Jennings
You've got to care about the music...You'd better not be doing it for the publicity, the fame or the money. And you'd sure better not be doing it because it's a way to make a living, 'cause that ain't always going to be easy. You got to believe it, believe in the music. You got to mean it.
Waylon Jennings
Hitting the bottle again, ever than I've drunker been. Or is it drunker than I've ever been?
Waylon Jennings
When you're down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the king.
