More quotes by Waylon Jennings
Heroes put to the test, keeping a promise, doing their best.
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
There's always one more way to do something-- your way.
Waylon Jennings
I'm just a man, no more or no less. Bad as the worst, good as the best.
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
Did ole Hank really do it this way?
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
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 could have killed her when we first met and I've been out of jail by now.
Waylon Jennings
I ain't got no reverse. I've learned, a little later in life, it works out pretty good to have one every once in a while.
Waylon Jennings
If you have the courage and you have the heart, that hero just might be you.
Waylon Jennings
I never have any problem getting enthusiastic with a good song and a good band.
Waylon Jennings
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.
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
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
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
So I'm not very popular here with those inside the system, as you might guess. I never wanted to be.
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
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me. After all of my tries, I've got the perfect disguise.
