Lyrics
Backburner
Words and music: alan garr

Hey baby your runnning at this pace that never ceases to amaze me
It makes me sleepy, so tired
Your up to see a sad sun rising the same ‘ol sun you saw set last night
And all it brings is something else that you just can’t make right
But stop off and take a cool drink of water
Lay still and let the sun shine down
Most of all do not forget that love is all around
I know it sounds so stupid so stop me if you think it’s true
But you’re the only one can make a better life for you.
Let’s put it on the backburner yeah keep it on a low flame
Just think of all the miles you’ve traveled someday soon
Baby things are gonna change for the better
Oh for the better..
You look tired and sexy in a So-Cal kind of way like you need water
And a coastal place to play
But you can’t afford the car your driving you can’t afford the drugs you do
Baby slow down turn round hit ground
Because it’s all up to you.
