More quotes by Willie Nelson
(Songwriting) It's a gift. It all comes from somewhere. I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument. I was writing about things when I was eight or 10 years old that I hadn't lived long enough to experience.
Willie Nelson
There are just certain sounds, music, that sort of you know people are going to like it.
Willie Nelson
If you really want to get along with somebody, let them be themselves.
Willie Nelson
Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is.
Willie Nelson
Horses were a way to travel to get to where we are today, and it is our job to protect them.
Willie Nelson
A lot of guns there's no need for civilians to own those those are for military
Willie Nelson
There's a freedom you begin to feel the closer you get to Austin, Texas.
Willie Nelson
If you wait for tomorrow to follow your dreams, by the time that you get there they're gone.
Willie Nelson
I'm drinking doubles now that you're running around single again.
Willie Nelson
The first time I got onstage was when I was about 5 years old. It was at a church social, and I had a poem to recite.
Willie Nelson
Gay or straight? So what? It doesn't matter to me. We have to be concerned about other people regardless.
Willie Nelson
I started writing cheating songs when I was too young to have any idea what I was writing about - broken hearts and things like that. I just think it was something I already knew, something I had experienced in another lifetime.
Willie Nelson
Writing books is fun because after I do a show for a couple hours, I'm in a bus for 22 hours. It's not hard for me to look out the window and tell a joke here and there.
Willie Nelson
There are only so many notes so there must be only so many melodies.
Willie Nelson
Just can't wait to get on the road again
Willie Nelson
I'm from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there's no one in control.
Willie Nelson
There's a great enthusiasm for good country music all over the world.
Willie Nelson
There are more old drunks than there are old doctors.
Willie Nelson
My first job was in a Bohemian polka band, the Rejcek family polka band in Abbott. The old man in the band had another blacksmith shop in Abbott, but he liked me. All he had was horns and drums, and I was set up over there with my little guitar with no amps or nothing. I would play as loud as I wanted to, and nobody could hear me.
Willie Nelson
Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.
Willie Nelson
