More quotes by Waylon Jennings
I'm just a man, no more or no less. Bad as the worst, good as the best.
Waylon Jennings
I was king of the mountain for a long time, well, I don't want that no more. I like to perform every once in a while for people who want to see me, and cut albums of music that is what I'm really about.
Waylon Jennings
Lately I've heard rumors that the eagle may be lame. Just because I've been idle, don't mean that I'm tame.
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

Waylon Jennings
I sat at a bar having a beer trying to hold down the stool.
Waylon Jennings
But Buddy was an upper. He was happy. He loved music, and he was really happy. I don't know... I don't believe in reincarnation at all, but if all that stuff is true, then he might have been on his last time around.
Waylon Jennings
Honesty is something you can't wear out.
Waylon Jennings
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone. But I'd rather have one than none Lord, cause I'm flesh and bone.
Waylon Jennings
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me. After all of my tries, I've got the perfect disguise.
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
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
Don't you be so nice to me I fall in love so easily.
Waylon Jennings
