“It went on yesterday and it’s going on tonight, somewhere there’s somebody ain’t treatin’ somebody right.”

When you’re in a relationship, you’re always surrounded by a ring of circumstances… joined together by a wedding ring, or in a boxing ring.

I’ve never been unhappy with Capitol. Not really. They’ve been really good by me.

They do respect her but, they love to watch her strut.

The years rolled slowly past and I found myself alone. Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends, I found myself further and further from my home.

Every now and then you’ll nail one that’s really, really special. And that’s what you live for.

With only one thing in common, they got the fire down below.

I just start playing music and eventually I sing something, a line of a verse or a B section or a line of a chorus, and the line that I end up singing is related to the music I’m playing, if that makes any sense. And I go from there.

He wants his home and security, he wants to live like a sailor at sea.

One victim lives in tragedy, another victim stops to stare, and still another walks on by pretending not to see

And you pretend it doesn’t bother you, When you just want to explode.

The two hours onstage is great. But I can only play a show and then take a night off. I have to sing for two hours, and then I’ve gotta rest it for a night. So it’s the other 46 hours that are just boring as heck.

Sometimes you can hear them talk, other times you can’t. All the same old cliches, is that a woman or a man?

I’m older now but still running against the wind

You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it’s really fun to go there. But they’re not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It’s too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it’s distracting to me.

I’d rather make music than tour.

Tell them we’ll be dancing, dancing ’til we drop, it’s time to get down and do the Horizontal Bop.

The house shakes…with the roar of the cannon. No sleep for me tonight.

Whatever you do today you’ve got to sleep with tonight.

Tonight is not a setback. It’s just a learning experience.

I have drunken deep of joy, And I will taste no other wine tonight.

Heart, we will forget him, You and I, tonight! You must forget the warmth he gave, I will forget the light.

Let me go hiking over your body. Tonight I wanna explore very inch of you.

Tonight I wanna lose myself in you. The question is- will you too want to lose yourself in me?

Don’t just sit there looking at me. Come closer my love. Tonight I want you under my sheets.
