More quotes by 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
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

Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie
The best way to get to know any bunch of people is to go and listen to their music.
Woody Guthrie
All about a human being is, it's a great big hoping machine.
Woody Guthrie
You can't write a good song about a whorehouse unless you've been in one.
Woody Guthrie
If you walk across my camera I will flash the world your story.
Woody Guthrie
It's round the world I've traveled it's round the world I've roamed but I've yet to see an outlaw drive a family from its home
Woody Guthrie
Life has a habit of not staying hitched. You got to ride it like you find it.
Woody Guthrie
All you can write is what you see.
Woody Guthrie
One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple, by the Relief Office, I saw my people - As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if God blessed America for me.
Woody Guthrie
Nobody living can ever stop me. As I go walking my freedom highway. Nobody living can make me turn back. This land was made for you and me.
Woody Guthrie
