On the Edge of Town - an original song

Wrote this one after driving by an old motel which is no longer a motel but there are people who apparently live there. They come out when the sun goes down, these broken people on the edge of town.

Played on the guitars in the video - a Yamaha acoustic and a 4 string Ashton cigar box guitar, unplugged.

Can we PLEASE have a Derek Rose album already? You've got talent beyond talent and I ain't BS'ing you on that. I could hear this heading up the charts. You're a true inspiration my friend.

Absolutely love this one.   The story, characters, song.,playing, singing and video.  Harp too.  I feel like a lot of folks, me included, could have ended up broken and homeless. 

As it is, I am only badly bent!
