- EhepartnerSharon Rae(1969 - 18. Februar 2003) (er verstorben, 1 Kind)Dinorah(1956 - 1965) (geschieden, 1 Kind)
- He served two years in prison for felonious assault 1989-1991.
- Is famous for his working man's anthem, "Take This Job and Shove It, a No. 1 hit on Billboard magazine's country singles chart in 1978. Other well-known hits include "(Don't Take Her) She's All I Got" (1971), "Someone to Give My Love To" (1972); and "Slide Off of Your Satin Sheets" and "I'm the Only Hell (Mama Ever Raised)" (both 1977).
- Country singer Tracy Byrd re-recorded the Paycheck songs, "Someone to Give My Love To" and "(Don't Take Her) She's All I Got"; Byrd made both hits all over again.
- Shot a man in 1985 with a .22-caliber pistol, grazing his head. After three years of appeals, he was sent to a medium-security prison in 1989, but not before becoming a born-again Christian and quitting alcohol, drugs and cigarettes.
- "Take This Job and Shove It" was his only No. 1 hit (2 weeks in 1978), and was the inspiration for a hit movie of the same name. The song is among the few pre-1990 songs still played at modern country radio stations, usually at 5 p.m. Fridays to signal the end of the work week.
- I heard from fans constantly throughout the entire two years. The letters never stopped, from throughout the world. I looked forward to mail call every day. (After his release from prison)
- I'm a man who believes that right is right and wrong is wrong. Treat me right, and I will give you my all. Treat me wrong, and I will give you nothing. They don't like me for that, but that's the way I am.
- To me, an 'outlaw' is a man that did things his own way, whether you liked him or not. I did things my own way.
