More quotes by 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
The villains have turned into heroes. The heroes have turned into heals.
Waylon Jennings
You know, I feel sorry for the young artists.
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
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
I've always felt that blues, rock 'n' roll and country are just about a beat apart.
Waylon Jennings
His songs were soon curled on the lips of the world, they had earned him the highest acclaim. And yet his greatest desire was the simple warmth of love's fire, cause it's cold on the dark side of fame.
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
Was an American archetype, the bad guy with the big heart.
Waylon Jennings
Besides that, I felt guilty. I thought for some reason... I was alive, and Buddy and those boys were dead, and I didn't know how, but somehow I'd caused 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
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
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'm just a man, no more or no less. Bad as the worst, good as the best.
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
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
Take your tongue out of my mouth, I'm kissing you good-bye.
Waylon Jennings
Cuz I was never pretty anyway and never cared anything 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
I say, Lord, do right be me, I'm tired of being lonesome, on'ry, and mean.
Waylon Jennings
