Billy Burnette Billy Burnette Lyrics
1.Always Wondering Bout You Babe

Written:billy burnette.

I'm always wondering about you, babe
Bout all the times you've walked away
And i'll always miss you when you go
Cause the way i feel well you just don't know

Let's head on down the road together
Where the air id clean and there's love and sunny weather
We'll hide away in our fields of green by a winding stream
In our world of make believe

It's just that look that's in your eyes
Something about you i idealize
I feel as though i'm bout to lose my mind
Just trying to catch up but i'm so far behind

Although sometimes it seems so very hard
For someone like you and me
While i'm not knowing which way you are
You're too hung up in society
I'm not the way you want me to be
So i'll leave your way of living quietly
And forget all those things i can't give you-babe


2.Going To A Party

Written:billy burnette and johnny christopher.

Being with you, today
Getting to know you in each and every way
Night times have: what can i say
Get on down and love me all the way

I feel a whole lot better
I feel so fine, just a feeling this way
I'd like to hold you and love you forever
So get on down and love me all the way

Some will:some won't
Some do; some don't
Get on down and love me all the way


3.Riff Raft Man

Written:billy burnette.

Sitting wasting time
Sipping some cheap red wine
I spent all but my last dime to get
To feeling fine
I'm the riff raft man

I've been riding this old railroad
Destination unknown
I'll grab every little bit i can get
To run with
I'm known for the rift raff man


4.The Last War Song

Written:billy burnette.

Oh go now and tell the world about it
Stop this show now
There's too few here to die
We don't want war now

Just go on out and shout it
We've tried so many times to change directions
We've even tried some peaceful demonstrations
I wish this could be
Oh, i wish this could be the last war song

Well i just don't know
Leaders never listen
To anyone you know
They have so many reasons
Telling you the score
And make it sound confusing

Have a war trying to earn your perfection
I wish i could just lose all connection
I wish this could be
I wish this could be the last war song


5.Just My Love

Written:billy burnette.

Just walk on out
And close the door
I don't wanna see you anymore

It was such a shock
Kind of cold conversation
To end such a long
Such a long relation

Plans we have made
Seem oh so beautiful
Now that we're apart
They wouldn't seem so suitable

Now what's this going on around here
Seems like its been going on for years
Now you tell me its time to go on
And leave me feeling all alone


6.Too Bad I Missed You

Written:billy burnette.

Too bad i missed you baby
Too bad it might of been fun
Too bad i missed you baby
I think you're number one

I don't wanna give you no more my love
Cause you think that i'm not at all worth having
Don't place yourself too high above me
All i wanted to do was make a little love to you

Now i'm sorry babe
I didn't know you felt that way
Baby we can try another day
But this time (repeat)

Too bad i missed you baby
Too bad it might of been fun
Too bad i missed you baby
I think you're number one (repeat)

You are not at all what you think you are
A fine looking woman you may be
But loving you is hard
Just go on take your good looks
Cause they don't mean a thing to me no more


7.I Miss You Darling

Written:billy burnette.

I miss you darling
In a heartbreakin way
If i could i'd be calling
You home to stay

I could hardly stand it
When you walked on the plane
I didn't think i could take it
Almost went insane

As i read your letters
I felt so much closer to you
I'll feel a whole lot better
When i'm side by side with you

And when you come back home
It's gonna be for a long time
It's gonna be for a long time
Cause i'm not letting you leave no more


8.I'm Getting Wasted Doing Nothing

Written:billy burnette.

I'm getting wasted doing nothing
My mind is drifting far away
I hocked my guitar for a dozen dollar bills
I wish that there was some other way

I play my songs in a bar down on main street
Only one i know of for miles around
And people get to drinking and they fall asleep
And the owner says to move on to some other town

So, i just get my guitar and run
Until i can find someone to make music

I met a girl who works in a drug store
Got sky-blue eyes like you've never seen
I think i'm gonna grab her and walk on out the door
I'm gonna make some music that's just so darn mean


9.Twenty Years Ago, Today

Written:billy burnette.

Seems like this is gonna be one of those days
I feel if as i reach the door
The sun is covered by that same
Old man-made haze
California lives no more

I can't believe it's just been twenty years ago
A lot of people got surprised
Over-crowded cities, not a problem anymore
The end is near, we realize

So help! we need somebody not some artificial mind
We've come across so many things
We thought we'd never find
Haley's comet's gone
We're barely holding on

Jesus come on back and take us all home
