A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth - that’s what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.

More quotes by Willie Nelson
Freedom is control in your own life.
Willie Nelson
I live one day at a time, one day at a time. Yesterday's gone and tomorrow is blind, so I live one day at a time.
Willie Nelson
I was influenced a lot by those around me - there was a lot of singing that went on in the cotton fields.
Willie Nelson
We are the same. There is no difference anywhere in the world. People are people. They laugh, cry, feel, and love, and music seems to be the commons denomination that brings us all together. Music cuts through all boundaries and goes right to the soul.
Willie Nelson
I use vaporizers a lot. It cuts down on the heat and the smoke. And for a singer that's not a bad idea.
Willie Nelson
The fight to save family farms isn't just about farmers. It's about making sure that there is a safe and healthy food supply for all of us. It's about jobs, from Main Street to Wall Street. It's about a better America.
Willie Nelson
I like to play small clubs.
Willie Nelson
The life I love is making music with my friends.
Willie Nelson
I think Ray Charles did as much as anybody when he did his country music album. Ray Charles broke down borders and showed the similarities between country music and R&B.
Willie Nelson
I like marijuana because it keeps me from killing people. And I think there are a lot of people out there who are just like me. The reason it's not legal is because most people get up in the morning and get high, then forget to go out and vote for it.
Willie Nelson
I got along without you before I met you and I'll get along without you a long time after you're gone.
Willie Nelson
One thing I learned is that the mind, rather than being the master, should be the servant of the heart.
Willie Nelson
I never pretended to have a great voice. It works and I can carry a tune. If you have a good song, that's about all that's required.
Willie Nelson
Sometimes there is a 36-piece orchestra going off in my stomach.
Willie Nelson
If a song was ever good, it's still good.
Willie Nelson
Three chords and the truth - that's what a country song is.
Willie Nelson
I just enjoy both working and not working.
Willie Nelson
I'm drowning in whiskey river.
Willie Nelson
Be gentle with your words - you can't take them back.
Willie Nelson
At 82, Nelson (who wrote the song On the Road Again, among a thousand or more others) is the elder statesman of country music, a steadying and powerful voice in the industry and on environmental issues, and he's still on the road much of the year. The music keeps calling.
