Quotes

• “In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina.Can't you see the sunshine?Can't you just feel the moonshine?Ain't it just like a friend of mineTo hit me from behind?Yes, I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind.”
• “And as the moon rises he sits by his fireThinking about women and glasses of beer.And closing his eyes as the dogies retire,He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear,As if maybe someone could hear.Goodnight you moonlight ladies.Rockabye sweet baby James.Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose.Won't you let me go down in my dreams?And rockabye sweet baby James.”
• “Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name?Your way and my way seem to be one and the same, child.Mamma don't understand it.She wants to know where I've been.I'd have to be some kind of natural born foolTo want to pass that way again.But I could feel itOn a country road.”
• “Just yesterday morning, they let me know that you were gone. Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you. I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song, I just can't remember who to send it to. I've seen fire and I've seen rain.I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end.I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend.But I always thought that I'd see you again.”
• “Won't you look down upon me, Jesus, You've got to help me make a stand. You've just got to see me through another day. My body's aching and my time is at hand And I won't make it any other way.”
• “I’ve been walking my mind to an easy time,My back turned towards the sun.Lord knows the cold wind blows it’ll turn your head around.Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line,To talk about things to come.Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground.”
