lyrics

Illawarra Rose, Jericho, forever on the road, feeling low.
I saw you seek, somewhere safe, digging deep, full of faith,
Illawarra Rose
Illawarra Rose, those long yards, everybody knows it’s been hard
To book the gigs, write the charts, keep the beat, melt the hearts
Sell CDs, see the man, roll the leads, and pack the van
Illawarra Rose
I wrote this song ‘cause I wanted to be, at the wedding there with you and Steve.
Double booked and I’m on the road again in a very smelly van with some very Spooky Men.
Illawarra Rose, friend of mine, in the end I know, you’ll be fine.
You’ve got the steel, you’ve got the grace, so good to see the sun on your face
Illawarra Rose
