If I Had A Choice,

I'm Proud To Be An Oakie From Muskogee, A Place Where Even Squares Can Have A Ball. We Still Wave Old Glory Down At The Courthouse And White Lightning's Still The Biggest Thrill Of All.

In 1960, When I Came Out Of Prison As An Ex-convict, I Had More Freedom Under Parolee Supervision Than There's Available... In America Right Now.

In My Life There Were A Lot Of Situations Where I Could Have Been Killed Or Some Officer Might Have Been Killed Chasing Me, A Lot Of Things Could Be Different. Now, You Know That's Experience You Can't Buy. And It's There In My Rearview Mirror And I Can Refer To It In My Writing. I Have The Experience To Talk About Things Some People Only Imagine.

No, It's Not Love, But It's Not Bad.

There's One Thing I Never Did Do, And That Was Stink.
