Released on the 1997 CD release " Mark Campbell / Soulshaker " . This was a half solo and half band effort , very rare . Originally only 1000 were printed . More MP3s at : www.mark-campbell.net

Lyrics
Hall of Fame -
(c) 1995 Mark E. Campbell
..........................................
When you started all you wanted was to get up on a stage and play .
You knew there'd be some competition , you'd have to blow 'em all away .
You spent your whole life workin' on that show , what the outcome is I just don't know .
When the lights go up it's time to give it up and give it a go .
Welcome to the Hall of Fame
Your so lucky aren't you glad you came ?
Welcome to the Halls , them famous walls , Welcome to the Hall of fame .
You didn't make a lot of money, but you sure had a lot of soul .
You had a bad reputation , a humour that you couldn't control .
In the beginning they might'a laughed ,
But now they want your autograph .
You might call it country , but they used to call it rock and roll .
Welcome to the Hall of Fame
Your so lucky aren't you glad you came ?
Welcome to the Halls , them famous walls , Welcome to the Hall of fame . ( put your lead solo right here and we'll get along fine)
Well the man at the station asked me "what is it you want from this game ?" I said " There's one thing for certain ; fortune , fame and critics acclaim ."
In the beginning he just started to laugh,
and he asked me for my autograph autograph .
"If that don't suit ya , you only have yourself to blame ."
Welcome to the Hall of Fame
Your so lucky aren't you glad you came ?
Welcome to the Halls , those famous walls , Welcome to the Hall of fame .
