I Got To Realizing That I Wanted

I Remember As A Kid Being Cold A Lot, And Hungry Sometimes. Wed Go To Bed With Just Cornbread And Milk, And I Remember Wearing Shoes With Holes In The Bottom. I Remember Having Twine For Shoestrings.

I Got To Realizing That I Wanted To Record, I Wanted To Experiment. And Doing Those Same Old Songs The Same Old Way - I Said, 'i Think It's Time For Me To Have Some Fun.'

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

My Mother Told Me On Several Different Occasions That She Was Livin' Her Dream Vicariously Through Me. She Once Said That I Was Getting To Do All The Things That She Would Have Wanted To Have Done.

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.
