It's really hard to make a living as a musician. It's almost impossible.
There was only really one accident that was kinda bad but it was nothing to do with booze, just bad luck... I was having a hard time a couple of years ago... I'm a good driver, I just had bad luck.
You're having a hard time and lately you don't feel so good; You're getting a bad reputation in your neighborhood. It's alright, it's alright; Sometimes that's what it takes. You're only human, you're allowed to make your share of mistakes.
You've got to be hard, like the rock in that old rock & roll.
Honesty is such a lonely word Everyone is so untrue Honest is hardly ever heard And mostly what I need from you.
It's awful hard trying to make love long distance, but I really need stimulation.
...now as we induldge, in things refined,we hide our hearts, from harder times...
Why should I worry? Why should I care?There's just this street population, and I've got 'street savoir-faire'.
I definitely prefer being a lover than a fighter.
You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.
Water has an endless horizon; there is no limitation when you look out into the water. There's nothing to interfere with the mind's eye projecting itself as far as it can possibly imagine. I suppose it's the same way people in the Midwest feel about watching amber waves of grain or endless rows of cornfields. There is something exhilarating about it.
When you look into my eyesAnd you see the crazy gypsy in my soulIt always comes as a surpriseWhen I feel my withered roots begin to growWell I never had a place that I could call my very ownThat's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home
You better believe there will be times in your life when you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool. So take it from me: you'll learn more from your accident than anything that you could ever learn in school.
You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.
