    "Star Wars Episode Three (And One Quarter): Revenge Of The Hicks"
    "Like a lot of Iowans, I have to drive just to meet basic needs, ... Am I going to drive into town for a loaf of bread and a half gallon of milk or am going into town to play cards with friends? Probably not. So it's definitely fewer trips."
    "I believe if life gives you lemons make lemonade…then find someone that life gave vodka to and have a party."

    Worry No More

    by: Ron Wood

    My life was once filled with anger
    So much anger and grief
    Now I found a spirit
    Heading into my heart
    It' s the only thing that gives me relief
    Jealousy 'n fear were with me daily (?)
    I was always afraid of getting lost
    Once was surely blind
    But now it's all behind
    I can see all the bridges I have crossed
    When the devil comes around
    It's gonna be knock knock knock knock
    Knocking at your front door
    Gotta go out and greet him
    Greet 'em with a smile
    Say "Devil, I don't worry no more."
    Jealousy 'n fear were with me daily (?)
    I was always afraid of getting lost
    Once was surely blind
    But now it's all behind
    I can see all the bridges I have crossed
    When the devil comes around
    It's gonna be knock knock knock
    Trying tear down your front door
    Gotta go out and greet him
    Greet 'em with a smile
    Sayin' "Devil, I don't worry no more."
    My life was once filled with anger
    So much anger and grief
    Now I found a spirit
    Heading into my heart
    It' s the only thing that gives me relief
    And I ain't gonna worry no more
    ain't gonna worry no more
    ain't gonna worry no more
    ain't gonna worry no more
    ain't gonna worry no more
    ain't gonna worry no more
