Jesus Will Not Fail Me, I Shall

When I Think About Country Music, I Think About America.

Sam [phillips] Wanted I Walk The Line Up - You Know, Up-tempo. And I Put Paper In The Strings Of My Guitar To Get That (vocalizing) Sound, And With The Bass And The Lead Guitar, There It Was. Bare And Stark, That Song Was When It Was Released. And I Heard It On The Radio And I Really Didn't Like It, And I Called Sam Phillips And Asked Him Please Not To Send Out Any More Records Of That Song.

When I Finally Stopped [singing], He Had Been Saying, Like, The Last Day Or So, He'd Been Saying, Now, I Think We Should Put This One In The Album. So Without Him Saying I Want To Record You And Release An Album, He Kept - He Started Saying, Let's Put This One In The Album. So The Album, This Big Question, You Know, Began To Take Form, Take Shape. And Rick [rubin] And I Would Weed Out The Songs.

When I Was 17 - 16, My Father And I Cut Wood All Day Long And I Was Swinging That Crosscut Saw And Hauling Wood.

Oh, I'd Love To Wear A Rainbow Everyday, And Tell The World That Everything's Okay, But I'll Try To Carry Off A Little Darkness On My Back, Till Things Are Brighter, I'm The Man In Black.
