Growing Up Quotes

It was good growing up in a small town. The whole town would shut down on Friday, 5 o'clock. If I'd been a bank robber or wanted to ransack a house, there wasn't nobody in town. The cops would go, too. They'd lead the bus to wherever, to Plano or Cooper or Commerce, wherever we was playing.
