Billy Ray — текст песни (Bill Miller)

He sang Honky Tonk Woman and American Pie
Most big city people would rather pass him by
Hes been sleeping on sidewalks under a neon sky
Lonely heart of a rebel has made the boy streetwise

He`s got to give blood just to get his meals out here in Music City, U.S.A.
He`s got hopes and dreams of swingin` a deal
All his friends they call him Billy Ray
Billy Ray, I can`t turn away
`Cause you`re a rock and roll cowboy with a burnin` desire to play
Billy Ray, the street is your stage
You keep on singin` your songs, somebody`s gonna listen someday

He`s just a good ole boy, so when he comes your way
Don`t you turn around, he`s got something to say
Everything he owns is in that beat up case
Ain`t no gold record gonna take its place

He said the good Lord cares and watches over him
We are our brother`s keeper, why can`t we understand

You`re a rock and roll cowboy with a burnin` desire to play
You keep on singin` your songs, somebody gonna listen someday
I said you`re ar ock and roll cowboy with a burnin` desire to play
