it's alright: collabfest entry by maxit, kenny mac and oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

first submission for the collab fest methinks.

i put out a call for volunteers here https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=15696.0

max  sent me an almost complete tune, i wrote and sang a lyric and kenny mac added some guitars.

heading out. lyrics and info to follow.

i tried to speak to someone on the telephone
was an automated service with a crass ringtone
someone gonna get the edge of my tongue
if i ever get through to anyone
this modern day living
really gets me down
wasting my time
with the runaround
i just wanna sit down
just chill out
but i know i cant
but thats alright
thats alright
gotta get ready for the day ahead
go out and work and earn some bread
i go and do it so my kids can have
all that i can give i'm there dad
thats all the motivation that  i need
im inspired by love not by greed
but i'd like to lay down
and get some sleep
but i know i cant
but thats alright
thats alright
i know i burn the candle at both ends now
my energy is sapped im all burned out
but i'll keep going for my girls
i'll find the strength i'll find the will
and i'll keep doing what i have to do
if it breaks my back i'll pay my dues
as long as there's a cold one in the chill
and ive paid the rent and ive paid the bills
and its alright
its alright

that's alright

That`s what it`s all about! Collab-fest begins!

Now we are talking boys......one of my favorite things about this site is spontaneous collabs like this.  Bloody magic stuff.  This really grooves along so fine.  Such a summery summer feel to this, like a worldwide hit in the summer of 1972, or maybe 1982..........so fine
