One Day, I Just Decided I'm Ready

There's A Man Going 'round Taking Names / And He Decides Who To Free And Who To Blame / Everybody Won't Be Treated All The Same / There'll Be A Golden Ladder Reaching Down / When The Man Comes Around.

You Build On Failure. You Use It As A Stepping Stone. Close The Door On The Past. You Don't Try To Forget The Mistakes, But You Don't Dwell On It. You Don't Let It Have Any Of Your Energy, Or Any Of Your Time, Or Any Of Your Space.

The Requests Started Coming In From Other Prisoners All Over The United States. And Then The Word Got Around. So I Always Wanted To Record That, You Know, To Record A Show Because Of The Reaction I Got. It Was Far And Above Anything I Had Ever Had In My Life, The Complete Explosion Of Noise And Reaction That They Gave Me With Every Song. So Then I Came Back The Next Year And Played The Prison Again, The New Year's Day Show, Came Back Again A Third Year And Did The Show.

I'm Very Shy Really. I Spend A Lot Of Time In My Room Alone Reading Or Writing Or Watching Television.

Understand Your Man, Meditate On It.
