He Drank His First Strong

My Way Of Communicating With God As A Boy (and Often Even Now) Was Through The Lyrics Of A Song. . . . So I Didn't Have The Problem Some People Do Who Say, "i Don't Know How To Pray." I Used The Songs To Communicate With God. . . . To Me, Songs Were The Telephone To Heaven, And I Tied Up The Line Quite A Bit.

I Think In My World Of Religion, You're Called To Preach Or You Don't Preach. Called By God To Preach. I Never Been Ordained By God To Preach The Gospel. I Have A Calling, It's Called To Perform And Sing.

Canadian Railroad Trilogy Is An Extremely Fine Piece Of Songwriting.

That Was The Big Thing When I Was Growing Up, Singing On The Radio. The Extent Of My Dream Was To Sing On The Radio Station In Memphis. Even When I Got Out Of The Air Force In 1954, I Came Right Back To Memphis And Started Knocking On Doors At The Radio Station.

Because You're Mine, I Walk The Line.
