Verse 1
So I been working my butt off playin in a rock n roll band
And I been trying to get a girlfriend in my spare time
And we kept the neighbours up late every night
Broke the sound barrier at the surf club
And no one in this town is gonna stop us from livin the dream
Chorus
Im gonna do what I do best all night long
Im gonna do what I do best all night long
Im gonna do what I do best all night long
See what record companies think of that
Im gonna do what I do best all night long
Verse 2

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 Ill earn an income
Chorus
Solo

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.
