Big in America

 I'm playing the honkytonks and bars, trying to imitate the Doors and the Cars, Irish rock and rhythm and blues ,trying to make it big in America              

Phoenix, Dallas and Montreal
Got to entertain you one and all
Some people think that I'm quite good I'm glad cause I can't go home again

I've just turned forty five
Good God am I still alive,
sure I'm all right
The booze and stuff's catching up I'm not sure if I've had enough, but I'll survive

I've got to play these reels and gigs, so I can hold down theses few Irish gigs ,the Dublin House and the Inisfree, I'm sure you'll all have me back again

Four long years in this here town ,hoping the freeways don't come tumbling down ,driving in the fast lane, trying to get to the gig always dreaming of making it big

Shannon to New York, and back again I think this is as far as I've ever been Would you like a cocktail sir ,Oh' No thank you ma'am
