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?

You've got to care about the music...You'd better not be doing it for the publicity, the fame or the money. And you'd sure better not be doing it because it's a way to make a living, 'cause that ain't always going to be easy. You got to believe it, believe in the music. You got to mean it.

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.

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.

Image
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.

Hitting the bottle again, ever than I've drunker been. Or is it drunker than I've ever been?

Don't ever try and be like anybody else and don't be afraid to take risks.

I'm old and crazy, but I still give a damn. And I still think the boys got screwed over in Vietnam.

They got me for possession of something that was long, long gone.

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.

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.

I'm just a man, no more or no less. Bad as the worst, good as the best.
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.
Waylon Jennings
Image
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.

I could have killed her when we first met and I've been out of jail by now.

This world that I live in is empty and cold/the loneliness cuts me and tortures my soul.

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
Image
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.

Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me. After all of my tries, I've got the perfect disguise.
