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

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
I've always felt that blues, rock 'n' roll and country are just about a beat apart.

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
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
Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today.
Waylon Jennings
Now, I don't know how they judge all that, but if anybody in the world deserves to be in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Ritchie Valens does.
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
The only two things in life that make it worth livin' / Is guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
Waylon Jennings
I might be an endangered species.
Waylon Jennings
I say, Lord, do right be me, I'm tired of being lonesome, on'ry, and mean.
Waylon Jennings
I sat at a bar having a beer trying to hold down the stool.
Waylon Jennings
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.
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
Ladies love outlaws, like babies love stray dogs. Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold, outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul.
