This guitar line I'm playing, as I think about this song, and I'm holding my guitar -- I've had this guitar since I was nineteen years old. I was nineteen, and I was still sort of a young nineteen. I don't think I had a driver's license, I would just stay home and play guitar all day. Nineteen years old. And I worked at a gas station. I bought this guitar with the money that I made working at the gas station. And I remember saying to myself one night when I was holding the guitar, [in] the room farthest away from civilization in my house, looking at the guitar and going, "I know that I'm gonna play you in this room, and I'm gonna play you in a sold-out stadium one day."
And that's not overconfidence. Not if you're playing guitar six hours a day. That's just cocooning yourself in positivity. But all the people who've come in and out, the ever-changing flexible strategies that have come in and out of this brain, all the money spent, money lost, money made, doesn't matter. All the checks and balances. I've had this guitar since I was nineteen years old. And I get to play it on stage for you tonight, and it's never let me down, and I don't think it ever will, so. In all this singing about "the wheel," this thing is the axle, cause this thing ain't going nowhere.
