When, I was just a baby,
My mama told me, son
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die.

The best way to say anything is just to say it.

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town.

I have tried drugs and a little of everything else, and there is nothing in the world more soul-satisfying than having the kingdom of God building inside you and growing.

Opening lines at many of his concerts and public appearances.
