Ryan Adams quotes

It's like-I don't know, sometimes it's like chasing a pretty girl on the beach. And things I never thought I could do...I can do. (Ryan Adams)
I should've died a hundred thousand times,Teetering stoned off the side of a building.Nobody loved me and nobody even triedYou can't hang on to something that won't stop moving.Singing and dancing to them nighttime songs. View quote
Ryan Adams
Words may move but they're never moving fast enough. View quote
Ryan Adams
If I had a reed made of lightening I could blow the sax all night... I don't know where one would acquire a reed made of lightening but I would imagine that Bill Clinton has one. View quote
Ryan Adams
I'm sort of planting Post-It notes all over my psyche. Do not skateboard wasted. Do not buy $10,000 rugs. Be careful what you say to journalists. You don't have to stay up until 7 A. M. View quote
Ryan Adams
I want to make sure I'm with a girl that's a good kisser, and that when I wake up, I have coffee and a cigarette. That's all I really want out of life. That, and world domination. View quote

I would've held your mother's hand on the day you was born. She runs through my veins like a long black river and rattles my cage like a thunderstorm. View quote
Ryan Adams
Real. Real like a plastic bouquetThat thrives on the smoke from an old fireplaceAnd dies every night with her face on the news.Nobody cries, they just smoke and stare and their shoes.The only difference is,The only difference is,Nobody can cry -It's hard to doFor most folks, without a reason why. View quote

It's not very fashionable nowadays to have a philosophy that demands a lot of life. I tend to be drawn to people who are emotional - now they'd be called 'crazy'. Pollock, Jasper Johns, Toulouse-Lautrec. People said, 'They're off their nut!' Was Faulkner off his nut because he stayed in his house for eight months at a time writing books, and then you'd find him drunk up in a tree, making out with some old black woman? I think that's fuckin' great! View quote
Ryan Adams
I've got maybe five or ten jean jackets with jeans. I can pack three to four pairs of denim jeans, five T-shirts, ten Western-style shirts, and two ties and just buy socks when I get there. That, a Walkman, two books, and some records, and I'm out the door for a year. Not a problem. Doesn't freak me out at all. Usually, if you're thinking about your clothes too much, you're probably not high enough. View quote
Ryan Adams
Bring you down, can't bring you down Bring you down, can't hear the sound Run through the river and head to town Pretty little moon with it's head hung down Chin up. Cheer up. View quote
Ryan Adams
One night at the diner over eggs, Over easy she showed me the length of her legs, But that gold plated cross on her neck, it was real And you don't get that kind of money from pushing a meal. View quote
Ryan Adams
You didn't see us, nothing can free us. View quote
Ryan Adams
They carved your name into a stone and then they put it in the ground. I run my fingers through the grooves when no one's around, Drink till I'm sick and I talk to myself in the dog days of the summer. Then I feel you coming but I don't know how... View quote
Ryan Adams
Most of my songs are about ladies. This one's about ladies metaphorically. There are some of my songs that are about the power of lightening. (Ryan Adams)
My lifestyle changed when this wonderful person came into my life. I couldn't sleep for years. All of a sudden, I don't know why or how, but I slept. View quote
Ryan Adams
Just a nobody girlWith a radar to the scene.When the emptiness finds youYou find all the numbers you need.You say you follow your heartWell, honey, you're just being lost.You could you follow your gutBut how much would it cost? View quote
Ryan Adams
Hope this place don't never change. View quote
Ryan Adams
There's something in the way she eases my mind And lays me across the bed till I close my eyes. Stirs me in the morning till I can't ever be satisfied. I leave Carolina every night in my dreams, Like the girls that try to love me that I only leave. Rock me like a baby doll and hold me to your chest, But I'm always moving too fast. View quote
