The things that have always been important: to be a good man, to try to live my life the way God would have me, to turn it over to Him that His will might be worked in my life, to do my work without looking back, to give it all I've got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer.
How well I have learned that there is no fence to sit on between heaven and hell. There is a deep, wide gulf, a chasm, and in that chasm is no place for any man.
Until things are brighter.. I'm the man in black.
Six foot six he stood on the ground He weighed two hundred and thirty-five pounds But I saw that giant of a man brought down To his knees by love
When I'm gone I'll be remembered as the workin' man who put his point across with a right hand full of knuckles.
You know, the man's best friend is his dog... if he's got nothing else.
Of travel I've had my share, man, I've been everywhere.
Understand your man, meditate on it.
It takes a real man to live for God-a lot more man than to live for the devil, you know? If you really want to live right these days, you gotta be tough.

My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don't ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.
There's a man going 'round taking names / And he decides who to free and who to blame / Everybody won't be treated all the same / There'll be a golden ladder reaching down / When the Man comes around.
I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.
Id like to wear a rainbow every day, and tell the world that everything is o.k. But Ill try to carry off a little darkness on my back. Until things are brighter, Im the Man in Black.
