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.

More quotes by Willie Nelson
But if you think of all the people who don't like me, just think of all the millions who've never heard of me!
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
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
How would you like to bite that in the ass, develop lock jaw and be dragged to death?
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
It was and is always nice to work with the kids.
Willie Nelson
Biodiesel seems to be the answer to a lot of our prayers. Not only can it help the U.S. economy, our unwanted dependence on foreign oil, and the gasping environment, it could also help the family farmers out of this tragic dilemma they have found themselves in through no fault of their own.
Willie Nelson
In the twilight glow I see her, blue eyes crying in the rain. As we kissed goodbye and parted, I knew we'd never meet again.
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.
Willie Nelson
I didn't come here and I ain't leavin'.
Willie Nelson
Every now and then I'll think of something to put back in the show. I just kind of play it off the top of my head. If I do it that way it keeps it kinda fresh.
Willie Nelson
My fans are very forgiving. So are my wives and my kids.
Willie Nelson
When you're singing, you're using extra muscles, and it requires a lot of exercise and breathing. You can't do that if you're a sissy. If I have any fitness advice for people, I'd tell them to sing more. It's good therapy, too.
Willie Nelson
As long as there's a few farmers out there, we'll keep fighting for them.
Willie Nelson
There's so many things going on in the world, Babies dying. Mothers crying. How much oil is one human life worth. And what ever happened to peace on earth.
Willie Nelson
In church I was told that if I so much as smoked a cigarette or tasted alcohol, I’d be damned in hell for all eternity... it didn’t take long for me to start thinking that sounded all wrong... I didn’t cotton to the idea that your religion should be flaunted to other people. Your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.
Willie Nelson
I've known straight and gay people all my life. I can't tell the difference... But I'd never marry a guy I didn't like.
Willie Nelson
You can't hang a man for shooting a woman who was trying to steal his horse.
Willie Nelson
I think it is just terrible and disgusting how everyone has treated Lance Armstrong, especially after what he achieved winning seven Tour de France races while on drugs......When I was on drugs I couldn't even find my bike.
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
