If You Want Me In The Hall

A Guy Said To Me, 'you're So Lucky. You Have People Like Ray Charles, Barbra Streisand And The Beatles Doing Your Songs.' I Figured Out, Though, The Harder I Work The Luckier I Get. The Secret Of Anything Is To Surround Yourself With Good People If You Want A Good Product.

You Get Up About 2-3 Oclock In The Morning And Get Through About 7 Or 8 And 12 Hours Later You Start All Over. Thats The Worst Kind Of Work A Person Can Do. You Have To Do These Two Shifts To Get One Day.

But Most Distinctly, I Remember Always Saying To Myself That When I Get Big, I'm Not Going To Go To Bed Hungry, I'm Not Going To Wear Hand-me-down Clothes.

The Road Had The Lonely Times, But I Kept Myself Busy.

That Was Where My Dream Began To Take Hold, Of Not Havin' To Pick Cotton And Potatoes, And Not Havin' To Be Uncomfortable, Too Hot Or Too Cold. That In Itself Had Driven Me To Try To Find Some Better Way Of Life.
