What have I become, my sweetest friend. Everyone I know goes away, in the end.
Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money.
You miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes, but that's part of it: knowing that you're not shut out forever, and that there's a goal you still can reach.
The gospel of Christ must always be an open door with a welcome sign for all.
I love songs about horses, railroads, land, Judgment Day, family, hard times, whiskey, courtship, marriage, adultery, separation, murder, war, prison, rambling, damnation, home, salvation, death, pride, humor, piety, rebellion, patriotism, larceny, determination, tragedy, rowdiness, heartbreak and love. And Mother. And God.
You can ask the people around me. I don't give up. I don't give up... and it's not out of frustration and desperation that I say I don't give up. I don't give up because I don't give up. I don't believe in it.
I learn from my mistakes. It's a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there's no gain.

If you aren't gonna say exactly how and what you feel, you might as well not say anything at all.
There's a lot of things blamed on me that never happened. But then, there's a lot of things that I did that I never got caught at.
Life is rough so you gotta be tough.
