Understand Your Man, Meditate On It.

Creative People Have To Be Fed From The Divine Source. I Have To Get Fed. I Had To Get Filled Up In Order To Pour Out.

In The Air Force, I Had An Old Wilcox Gay Recorder, And I Used To Hear Guitar Runs On That Recorder Going (vocalizing) Like The Chords On "i Walk The Line." And I Always Wanted To Write A Love Song Using That Theme, That Tune.

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.

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.

My Arms Are Too Short To Box With God.
