Written after a trip to the Tamworth country music festival, an attempt to write the kind of song the Eastern might write

lyrics

Re- read your letter
Was glad things was better
You said to get here and I think that be best
I broke down stateside, hitched a lonely ride
To where that sun, it sinks down in the West

Who's gonna be there when you break
Who's gonna pay for your mistakes
Who'll be around when that house of cards shakes down
Honey I may, if this old Dog has his day

Last night your voice it came, came down the line sayin'
Life can change, it can change on a dime
You got off listing, things I'd been missing but
You never gave me no places nor times

Who's gonna be there when you break
Who's gonna pay for your mistakes
Who'll be around when that house of cards, it shakes down
Honey, I may, if this ol' Dog has his day

Who's gonna pay for your mistakes
Who'll sweep up all your broken plates
Who'll be around when that house of cards shakes down
I may
If this old Dog has his day ....
