Waylon Jennings
The villains have turned into heroes. The heroes have turned into heals.
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
So I'm not very popular here with those inside the system, as you might guess. I never wanted to be.

Waylon Jennings
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.
Waylon Jennings
If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones.
Waylon Jennings
Did ole Hank really do it this way?
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
Take your tongue out of my mouth, I'm kissing you good-bye.
Waylon Jennings
Don't ever try and be like anybody else and don't be afraid to take risks.
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
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
This world that I live in is empty and cold/the loneliness cuts me and tortures my soul.
Waylon Jennings
If you have the courage and you have the heart, that hero just might be you.
Waylon Jennings
