If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones.
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
I sat at a bar having a beer trying to hold down the stool.
Waylon Jennings
There's always one more way to do something-- your way.
Waylon Jennings
We did an album one time called White Mansions, about the civil war, but it was written by a guy from England. His looking at it from over there and it not being a part of his history made it so he could be objective.

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
There's always one more way to do things and that's your way, and you have a right to try it at least once.
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.
Waylon Jennings
To me a guitar is kind of like a woman. You don't know why you like 'em but you do.
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
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
Was an American archetype, the bad guy with the big heart.
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
The men who could not fight, in a war that didn't seem right. You let them come home, America.
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.
