Music’s for grooving man, and music’s not for puttin’ yourself through bad changes, y’know?

An’ I don’t want much outa life,
I never wanted a mansion in the south.
I just-a want to find someone sincere
Who’d treat me like he talks,
One good man.

I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! (1969)

Please don'tcha do it to me babe, no!
Please don'tcha do it to me baby,
Either take this love I offer
Or honey let me be.

Pearl (1971)

Tomorrow never happens. It's all the same fucking day, man.

Honey, I love to go to parties,
And I like to have a good time,
But if it gets too pale after a while
Honey and I start looking to find
One good man.
