I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim too ugly or too this or too that.
Woody Guthrie
As I went walking That ribbon of highway I saw above me The endless skyway I saw below me The lonesome valley This land was made for you and me.
Woody Guthrie

Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of '33 For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me. He said, Roll along Columbia. You can ramble to the sea, But river while you're ramblin' you can do some work for me.
Woody Guthrie
Left wing. Right wing. Chicken wing.
Woody Guthrie
If you walk across my camera I will flash the world your story.
Woody Guthrie
This land is made for you and me.
Woody Guthrie
All you can write is what you see.
Woody Guthrie
I love a good man outside the law, just as much as I hate a bad man inside the law.
Woody Guthrie
