I'll Probably Be Writing As Long As

I'd Lost My Family To My Years Of Failing As A Songwriter. All I Had Were Bills, Child Support, And Grief. And I Was About To Get Fired. It Looked Like I'd Trashed My Act. But There Was Something Liberating About It. By Not Having To Live Up To People's Expectations, I Was Somehow Free.

Nothin' Ain't Worth Nothin' But It's Free.

Freedom Is Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose.

I Want You To Know I'm An Army Brat; I Was A Captain In The Army And My Brother Was A Jet Pilot In The Navy. So I Support Our Troops; I Identify With Them. But I Sure As Hell Don't Identify With The Bastards Who Sent Them Over There.

If God's Got A Favorite Songwriter, I Think It's John Prine.
