just sayin', just playin' just singin' anything I
just singing I choose
just playin' just prayin', just singin' anything that
that brings me back to 50 Burton Blues
turning right on Burton Drive, well I thought I saw you there
standing in the middle of my youth
and approaching number fifty, shining brighter than the glare
that vision can't be further from the truth
Cause it's been several years now and I'm starting to get tired,
of seeing shades of you at every turn
well you'd think that I'd be grateful, but i guess that's how I'm wired
wanting for a better life, but never letting go of strife
sunlit Saturdays are surely fading fast
you look better now, than when I saw you last,
I cherish every memory, and the ones which make me cry
will stay inside my head until
I'm good and dead but still
just sayin', just playin' just singin' anything I
just singing I choose
just playin' just prayin', just singin' anything that
that brings me back to 50 Burton Blues
Dad's a decent man, worked hard to buy this place
taught us by example to be free
and not to let life's troubles get you down and in disgrace
relax, enjoy the ride and let it be
So I took off for the higher road and made myself a life
and never thought I'd ever come back home
but as it were, the way it went I'm back on Burton Drive
and now you're hanging over me, and how you sober me
I've had better days, but mom and dad believe
God has greater plans and He will never leave
honor your commitments and do well by those you know
and when your hearts not sunny honey, you can come on home
yeah
just sayin', just playin', just singin' anything I
just singin' I choose
just sayin' just prayin', just singin' anything that
that brings me back to 50 Burton Blues
life is better now and baby here's the key
i'm not going anywhere the rent's not free
the folks they fear I'm leaving here, that someday I will flee
to a double-wide where I can hide- my Burton Blues inside
and here you are again, my friend, you showed up in a dream
snake-skinned boots propped up against the rail
I brought us some refreshments, you slid over on the swing
and the day turned dark around us, and a million stars had found us, now we're
painting pictures of the way it's s'pose to be
Someone told you once that this one looks like me
this house is in the background, not for sale, but if you choose
you can park your carc at Fifty Burton Blues, yeah
just sayin', just playin',just singin' anything I,
just singing I choose
just playin' just sayin', just singin' anything that
that brings me back to 50 Burton Blues
