Of Travel I've Had My Share, Man,

The Things That Have Always Been Important: To Be A Good Man, To Try To Live My Life The Way God Would Have Me, To Turn It Over To Him That His Will Might Be Worked In My Life, To Do My Work Without Looking Back, To Give It All I've Got, And To Take Pride In My Work As An Honest Performer.

I Had A Song Called "folsom Prison Blues" That Was A Hit Just Before "i Walk The Line." And The People In Texas Heard About It At The State Prison And Got To Writing Me Letters Asking Me To Come Down There. So I Responded And Then The Warden Called Me And Asked If I Would Come Down And Do A Show For The Prisoners In Texas.

I Wear Black Because I'm Comfortable In It. But Then In The Summertime When It's Hot I'm Comfortable In Light Blue.

[my Mother] Called [my Voice] The Gift.

I've Always Explored Various Areas Of Society. And I Love The Young People. And I Had An Empathy For Prisoners And Did Concerts For Them Back When I Thought That It Would Make A Difference - You Know? - That They Really Were There To Be Rehabilitated.
