Famous John Doe Quotes

“Climbing uphill, one dollar bill, this town is far.”

John Doe

Song lyrics, Dim Stars, Bright Sky (2002), This Far

“If I was a better poet like William Carlos Williams I’d be able to write about anything, but I’m just a minor poet. So I just write about things like moments of crisis that tend to be on the sadder, darker side. You can spend ten minutes in a really dark place and write a song about it that lasts forever.”

Song lyrics, Los Angeles (1980), The World's A Mess It's In My Kiss

John Doe
