Verse 2 (same as verse 1 pattern)
Well I later went on to join the Townsville blues project
And recorded my songs and put them on a CD
Well I got a lot gigs and got advertisement
I put my music on the internet
Maybe one day I’ll earn an income

END OF SONG
this is an original that i wrote, it is based on
"Rising Sun" by Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes.
it is sung in a very similar way as well.
when i wrote the song i was aiming for a
blues rock feel with a barnsey vocal style.
