More quotes by Waylon Jennings
Hitting the bottle again, ever than I've drunker been. Or is it drunker than I've ever been?
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
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
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

Waylon Jennings
Those neon light nights, couldn't stay out of fights, keeps a-haunting me in memories. There is one in every crowd, for crying out loud, why was is always turning out to be me?
Waylon Jennings
Don't ever try and be like anybody else and don't be afraid to take risks.
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
I didn't aim at anything except good music.
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
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
I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.
Waylon Jennings
Was an American archetype, the bad guy with the big heart.
