I Keep My Eyes Wide Open All

The Things That Have Always Been Important: To Be A Good Man, To Try To Live My Life The Way God Would Have Me, To Turn It Over To Him That His Will Might Be Worked In My Life, To Do My Work Without Looking Back, To Give It All I've Got, And To Take Pride In My Work As An Honest Performer.

What I Said, What Are You [rick Rubin] Going To Do With Me That Nobody Else Has Been Able To Do To Sell Records With Me?

It Just Took The Right Time. I Was Fully Confident That I Was Going To See Sam Phillips And To Record For Him That When I Called Him, I Thought, I'm Going To Get On Sun Records. So I Called Him And He Turned Me Down Flat. Then Two Weeks Later, I Got Turned Down Again. He Told Me Over The Phone That He Couldn't Sell Gospel Music So - As It Was Independent, Not A Lot Of Money.

[sam Phillips] Laughed At Me. I Just Didn't Like The Way I Walk The Line Sounded To Me. I Didn't Know I Sounded That Way. And I Didn't Like It. I Don't Know. But He Said Let's Give It A Chance, And It Was Just A Few Days Until - That's All It Took To Take Off.

He Went Up To Heaven, Located His Dog. Not Only That, But He Rejoined His Arm.
