It Just Seemed To Me

I Was Born On A Plantation, And Things Weren't So Good. We Didn't Have Any Money. I Never Thought Of The Word 'poor' Till I Got To Be A Man, But When You Live In A House That You Can Always Peek Out Of And See What Kind Of Day It Is, You're Not Doing So Well. And Your Restroom Is Not Inside The House.

I Don't Do Much Recording Anymore, But Before I Really Stopped, I Was Glad To Get Five, Five Cent A Record. That's Why When I See People Today And They Complain About What They Get, And I Picked Cotton For $2.50 A Day.

I Always Liked The Steel Guitar. I Also Love The Guys That Play The Bottleneck. But I Could Never Do It; I Never Made It Do What I Want. So Every Time I Would Pick Up The Guitar, I'd Shake My Hand And Trill It A Bit. For Some Strange Reason My Ears Would Say To Me That Sounds Similar To What Those Guys Were Doing. I Can't Pick Up The Guitar Now Without Doing It. So That's How I Got Into Making My Sound. It Was Nothing Pretty. Just Trying To Please Myself. I Heard That Sound.

Notes Are Expensive... Spend Them Wisely

I Don’t Like To Feel That I Owe Anything. I Like To Feel That I Pay My Own Way, No Free Lunch.
