“I gotta go on doin’ it the way I see it…I got no choice but to take it like I see it. I’m here to have a party while I’m on this earth..”

You can’t stay in your home town and play because the two people will get tired of seeing you.

As good as you’ve been to this world is as good as it’s gonna be right back to you.

If I hold back, I’m no good. I’m no good. I’d rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.

Except I knew I had a good voice and I could always get a couple of beers off of it. All of a sudden someone threw me in this rock ‘n’ roll band.

You have to sing loud and move wild with all that in back of you. Now, I don’t know how to perform any other way.

I just want to feel as much as I can, it’s what soul is all about.

Why should I hold back now and sound mediocre, just so I can sound mediocre twenty years from now?

In my insides, it really hurts if someone doesn’t like me. It’s silly.

I’d rather have ten years of superhypermost than live to be seventy sitting in some goddamn chair watching TV.

This whole thing that’s happened to me, you see, this whole success thing..it hasn’t yet really compromised the position that I took a long time ago in Texas

I had a lot of hurts and confusions. You know, it’s hard when you’re a kid to be different. You’re all full of things, and you don’t know that it’s about.

Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer.

Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz.

I love being a star more than life itself.

Oh, Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz – My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.

.I’m gettin’ it now, today. I don’t even know where I’m gonna be twenty years from now, so I’m just gonna keep on rockin’, cause if I start saving up bits and pieces of me.

You gotta have a pocket square, I think.

To be the man, you gotta beat the man!

I gotta keep busy. I’m not happy unless I’m working on two, three things.

So that’s why one of my rules of parody writing is that it’s gotta be funny regardless of whether you know the source material. It has to work on its own merit.

You gotta have a concrete lawn before I feel comfortable enough to go in and talk to you parents.

I’m for Barack Obama. We gotta have the Muslim cell in there just to piss Rush Limbaugh and the right wing off.

But somehow I’ve gotta find a way to play this.

. You gotta know what you like and what you do’t like and that’s fine.
