Bill Miller Billy Ray Lyrics

Billy Ray Lyrics

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
