Waylon Jennings
I'm old and crazy, but I still give a damn. And I still think the boys got screwed over in Vietnam.
Waylon Jennings
Now, I was on drugs, and that didn't help a whole lot. He hated that. That was part of where Chet and I had problems, so I take complete blame for that.

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
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
You know, I feel sorry for the young artists.
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
I might be an endangered species.
Waylon Jennings
The villains have turned into heroes. The heroes have turned into heals.
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
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
Take your tongue out of my mouth, I'm kissing you good-bye.
Waylon Jennings
Don't you be so nice to me I fall in love so easily.
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
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
Was an American archetype, the bad guy with the big heart.
Waylon Jennings
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me. After all of my tries, I've got the perfect disguise.
