Story of own musical tastes and desires

But I Didn’t Make It I read a book bout Jerry Lee, sang Elvis Presley songs I dreamt of being a Buddy Holly or Fats Domino I tried to copy Jim Reeves , even sang “He’ll Have to Go” I did my best and got played on local radio. Back in ‘73 when I played in the Cottonfields Sang Haggard & Charlie Pride & dreamed of crystal chandeliers If I came from New Orleans, I might have sang the Blues And maybe even met my idol, The great Jerry Lee Lewis. But I Didnt make it..... I didnt make it! O Didn’t make it….. I Didn’t make it When I first heard Chuck Berry I was only two years old I rattled in my pram & screamed & screamed for more Even though my daddy was a lovin’ man, I knew he couldnt understand I was born to play in a band. The Everlys were great , saw them one night in ‘68 I thought one day I’ll go far, came home and bought my first guitar I got three chord tricks and learned some great licks I’m still playin’ and doin’ my best, an well past my sell-by-date. But I Didnt make it..... I didnt make it! No I Didn’t make it… .. I Didn’t make it Bill Haley made me rock ‘n roll, just to hear him churned my soul I tried to emulate his style, all that practice seemed worthwhile Jim Croce sang ‘Leroy Brown’ when I played in every town I sang that song as best I could , could never beat Mick Cuffe. Those were the days , I thought I could be … Chuck Berry or Ge rry Lee Thought I could be …..Chuck Berry or Gerry Lee Melody & Lyrics by Martin Concannon 08/01/2015 x
