Story Behind The Song
I wrote this back in ?97 or ?98 for Pamela. Several of the lines in it are exactly as they happened. For example, when I would jump up on the freeway to go to her house, I?d see the sign, ?Airport Exit 1 Mile,? and the line in the song ?you can pass a lot

Lyrics
Burnin? Me Down
Billy Eli, copyright 2000
Well it might have been August
Or it might have been June
I felt the heat from the sidewalk
Thru the soles of my shoes
And I thought it was the weather
Then I found out it was just you
Bringin the heat around
Oh baby and it?s burnin me down
Well your house ain?t far
And I can drive for a while
You can pass a lot of cars
In one more mile
I see you standin in the doorway
And the shade?s already down
You?re bringin the heat around
Oh baby and it?s burnin me down
At night, while I?m layin in my bed
Those thoughts of you
Just won?t stop runnin thru my head
It?s just the way you are
And the things you say
And the way you look
At me that way
And I hope I never find out
If it gets colder when you?re gone
You?re bringin the heat around
Oh baby and it?s burnin me down
