More quotes by Waylon Jennings
Honesty is something you can't wear out.
Waylon Jennings
Men commit murder and all sorts of mayhem, in a few years they're back on the streets. Highway robbery and white collar crime, and they laugh at the system they beat.
Waylon Jennings
Finally, my manager negotiated a deal where I got to produce my own records.
Waylon Jennings
Got my Allman Brothers cassettes stacked up on the dash, got some Jack back in the trunk and a tank full of gas.

I never have any problem getting enthusiastic with a good song and a good band.
Waylon Jennings
What bothers me most is that I don't bother you.
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
It was all devastating. I'd never dealt with losing anyone close to me, and I didn't know where to put it in my life. I was very young then. Buddy taught me so much in such a short time.
Waylon Jennings
One thing is that I wasn't getting booked that well, and they had control over who got the awards, they had control over who sold. And they really did not want Willie or me, either one, to “have a hit record. They wanted the money, but they didn't want us to be the ones.
Waylon Jennings
The only two things in life that make it worth livin' / Is guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
Waylon Jennings
I've always felt that blues, rock 'n' roll and country are just about a beat apart.
Waylon Jennings
I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.
Waylon Jennings
Heaven is laying in my sweet baby's arms, hell is when my baby's not here.
Waylon Jennings
If you have the courage and you have the heart, that hero just might be you.
Waylon Jennings
If I could only fly, you see, a lot of my problems would be gone. When you think of just how much I'd save on shoes alone.
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
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
If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones.
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
Don't ever try and be like anybody else and don't be afraid to take risks.
Waylon Jennings
