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.

More quotes by 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
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
Did ole Hank really do it this way?

I might be an endangered species.
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
To me a guitar is kind of like a woman. You don't know why you like 'em but you do.
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
I could have killed her when we first met and I've been out of jail by now.
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
The only two things in life that make it worth livin' / Is guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
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
Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today.
