Al Hovden - When I Was A Burner Boy Lyrics

When I was a Burner Boy
When I was a Burner Boy

Hey hey we're the Burner Boys
And we've got some songs to play
You say we're just making noise
But we've got something to say
We made it across the nation
On one occasion at least
We played the Be-In and made the news
One night on CBC TV

When I was a Burner Boy

Our van says we're shot from guns
And we've run from one or two
And our job keeps us unemployed
Bringing out the boy in you
A fight each night when we grew our hair
Now we're up there in lights
On the marquee of the Big O
Nine to two on Friday nights

When I was a Burner Boy
When I was a Burner Boy

And when I'm old
And all the songs we played grow cold
I'll be glad I was a Burner Boy
I'll always be a Burner Boy

We'll guarantee to offend you
But in the end you will be
A fan of the the Burner Boys
Drop on by the "O" and see

When I was a Burner Boy
When I was a Burner Boy
