I Write My Own Songs, And I

I Did All My Guitar Playing At My House. And Then Finally, I Was Throwing Hay And Stuff Working In Stockton And Somebody Offered - Somehow They Had Heard Me Singing At The House And Said: Hey, I'll Hire You For Our Fraternity Party Or Sorority Party. And I Said: Well, Are They Going To Pay Me? And He Said: Yeah, We'll Pay You 50 Bucks.

It's Strange What Desire Will Make Foolish People Do.

There Was A Misconception About Me When I Started Off Because I Had My Hair Greased Up And I Have Some Vague Resemblance To The Hillbilly Gene Pool That Elvis Came From. People Would Say, 'you Want To Be Elvis' And I Would Say, 'no'.

I Keep Things Pretty Simple.

When I Play It I Look Out And See People Hold On To Each Other And Dance Or Just Couples Leaning Into Each Other And Kiss. And I'll Go: 'you Know, I Could Have Worked Hard At School And Been A Dentist. But I'm So Glad I Didn't.' Because When I Look Out And See That I Feel Like The Pied Piper Of Love.
