Write on, even though there's no one listening to your songs
Write on
C G
Shine on, get it together, let your light break through shine on
baby, shine on
C G
Write on, sitting on your own, waiting for the phone come on,
come on, come on
C G
Write on, for your fame and fortune will follow you, coming on strong
Coming on strong

Don't feel bad 'cos the radio ain't playing 'em
It won't be long til you're going out and slayin' 'em
C
Shine on
F
You're not the first, you won't be the last
C
To feel the frustration of a musical fast write on,
G
Baby, write on
N.C.
Sing your rock and roll with a touch of soul
Ballads with feeling, send your audience reeling
Rock on, rock on
F
Find a man with a van, a back up band
Who'll give you a hand on your one night stand
C
Rock on, baby, rock on
F
Give 'em your licks, getting off on their kicks
Swayin in motion to a rhythmic potion
C G
Rock on, baby, rock on
F
Music freaks and all those hustlers
Hangers on, trying to make a con
C
Rock on
F
Don't sign on the line til you know it's all fine
It's your life baby, you got to give it time
C G
Rock on, baby, rock on
