More quotes by Woody Guthrie
Life's pretty tough . . . you're lucky if you live through it.
Woody Guthrie
Life has a habit of not staying hitched. You got to ride it like you find it.
Woody Guthrie
I have decided long ago that my songs and ballads would not get the hugs and kisses of the capitalistic experts.
Woody Guthrie
All of you cowboys, fight for your land.
Woody Guthrie
One day we'll all find out that all of our songs was just little notes in a great big song!
Woody Guthrie
All about a human being is, it's a great big hoping machine.
Woody Guthrie
Some men rob you with a six-gun -- others rob you with a fountain pen.
Woody Guthrie
Now as through this world I ramble, I see lots of funny men, Some rob you with a six gun, And some with a fountain pen.
Woody Guthrie
I worked in your orchards of peaches and prunes. I slept on the ground in the light of the moon. On the edge of the city you'll see us and then, we come with the dust and we go with the wind.
Woody Guthrie
This machine kills fascists.
Woody Guthrie
If we fix it so's you can't make money on war, we'll all forget what we're killing folks for.
Woody Guthrie
Life has got a habit of not standing hitched. You got to ride it like you find it. You got to change with it. If a day goes by that don't change some of your old notions for new ones, that is just about like trying to milk a dead cow.
Woody Guthrie
Take it easy, but take it.
Woody Guthrie
Now as I look around, it's mighty plain to see, This world is such a great and a funny place to be. Oh, the gamblin' man is rich, an' the workin' man is poor, And I ain't got no home in this world anymore.
Woody Guthrie
I like to write about wherever I happen to be.
Woody Guthrie
I would like to see every single soldier on every single side, just take off your helmet, unbuckle your kit, lay down your rifle, and set down at the side of some shady lane, and say, nope, I aint a gonna kill nobody. Plenty of rich folks wants to fight. Give them the guns.
Woody Guthrie
You can't write a good song about a whorehouse unless you've been in one.
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
All you can write is what you see.
Woody Guthrie
Left wing. Right wing. Chicken wing.
Woody Guthrie
