More quotes by Waylon Jennings
The rock and roll spirit. I learned a lot of that because I worked with Buddy Holly. I played bass with him, and he taught me a lot about that.
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
They got me for possession of something that was long, long gone.
Waylon Jennings
I didn't aim at anything except good music.
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
Take your tongue out of my mouth, I'm kissing you good-bye.
Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings
If you see me getting smaller, I'm leaving, don't be grieving, just gotta get away from here. If you see me getting smaller, don't worry, and no hurry, I've got the right to disappear.
Waylon Jennings
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love.
Waylon Jennings

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
Lately I've heard rumors that the eagle may be lame. Just because I've been idle, don't mean that I'm tame.
Waylon Jennings
Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today.
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
The villains have turned into heroes. The heroes have turned into heals.
Waylon Jennings
The Hank Williams Syndrome: Come to Nashville, write some good songs, cut some hit records, make money, take all the drugs you can and drink all you can, become a wild man and all of a sudden die.
Waylon Jennings
This world that I live in is empty and cold/the loneliness cuts me and tortures my soul.
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
So I'm not very popular here with those inside the system, as you might guess. I never wanted to be.
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.
