Those wounds stay with you, and you turn them into a language and a purpose.
My heart's dark, but it's rising. I'm pulling all the faith I can see.
It's a town full of losers And I'm pulling out of here to win.
Someday girl, I don't know when, were gonna get to the place where we really want to go, and we'll walk in the sun. But til then, tramps like us, baby, we were born to run.
A time comes when you need to stop waiting for the man you want to become and start being the man you want to be.
It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive.
Talk about a dream, try to make it real.
I'm in search of how to take the stuff I've written and make sure the audience hears it fresh again. It's been a lot of fun. I've enjoyed it.
Everyone remembers the experience quite truly, ... And everyone was centered around this thing, that we suffered. No one forgot that. Everyone had that in common.
It was just playing music. I didn't have any intention for it. I knew that I enjoyed making this kind of music. ... It was really just purely for the joy of doing it. It was a lot of fun.
I was 25 years old, with no place to go and nothing to do ? that helped, ... We worked, and worked, and worked. It was very frustrating. But in the end, luckily, all of everything we did ended up in there.
I have no rules left. I don't have to get on the radio. It's wide open for me. The singer-songwriters I admire - Dylan, Neil Young, Woody Guthrie - move forward all the time.
We just sit around talking about the old times She says when she feels like crying she starts laughing thinking about: Glory days, well they'll pass you by Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye, Glory days, glory days
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary/Out by the gas fires of the refinery/I'm 10 years burning down the road/Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go,
