Story behind the song
(Celtic Rock in a rockabilly style. Describes my first touring days in the USA in a fun way. With the help of some very fine musicians in the studio from Glen Campbells' touring band.)
Lyrics
Making it 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 Solos 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'Oh !!!!!! No thank you ma'am 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 Making it big in America.
