My Contract With Mercury Polygram Nashville Was About To Expire. And I Never Had Really Been Happy. The Company, The Record Company, Just Didn't Put Any Promotion Behind Me. I Think One Album, Maybe The Last One I Did, They Pressed 500 Copies. And I Was Just Disgusted With It. And About That Time That I Got To Feeling That Way, Lou Robin, My Manager, Came To Me And Talked To Me About A Man Called Rick Rubin That He Had Been Talking To That Wanted Me To Sign With His Record Company.

Well, I Take Great Comfort In The Words Of The Apostle Paul Who Said, ‘what I Will To Do, That I Do Not Practice. But What I Hate, That I Do.’ And He Said, ‘it Is No Longer I Who Do It, But The Sin That Dwells Within Me. But Who,’ He Asks, ‘will Deliver Me From This Body Of Death?’ And He Answers For Himself And For Me, ‘through Jesus Christ The Lord.'

He Drank His First Strong Liquor Then To Calm His Shaking Hand, And Tried To Tell Himself At Last He Had Become A Man.

As Sure As God Made Black And White, What's Done In The Dark Will Be Brought To The Light.
