Rocky Burnette Tired of toein the line

Rocky Burnette




Baby, I'm tired of toeing the line.
Don't know why you wanna jump on me,
Baby, baby, baby, and make-a me cry.

Baby, I, I'm gonna find myself someone new,
Someone who will be true,
But no more toeing the line.

I know it's o-ooh-over, cause I've seen the signs.
Don't let me waste your precious time.

Baby, I'm tired of toeing the line.
If you wanna get uh-rid of me,
Baby, baby, baby, you're doin' fine.

Baby, I'm tired of toeing the line.
I'm gonna put on my walkin' shoes
And leave you far behind.

You're rolling over in clover so refined,
But you can't fix this broken heart of mine.

Baby, I'm tired of toeing the line.
Don't know why you wanna jump on me,
Baby, baby, baby, and make-a me cry.

Baby, I'm tired of toeing the line.
Don't know why you wanna jump on me,
Baby, baby, baby, and make-a me cry.

Baby, I'm tired of toeing the line.
Baby, I'm tired of toeing the line.
Baby, I'm tired of toeing the line.
Baby, I'm tired of toeing the line.

I knew Rocky personally in 1968 and 1969. This was in Van Nuys, California. We were just teenagers then. I wrote a play and had Rocky act the lead and sing. He was always smiling and had a golden voice, also a powerful voice, requiring no microphone to fill the hall. He was an instant hit. He had a buddy named Tim Sullivan and their band even then was excellent. His uncle, by the way was Glen Campbell. That family can sing!

Funny, I `ve been looking for this song for a year, couldn´t remember neither the singer nor the tittle, all of a sudden I remembered ".. if you want to get rid of me u ´re doing fine", and here I am. One of the best songs of the 80s i can recall: i could go on listening for hours.

I love this song, forever. I never knew who sang it but I'm adding to my CD collection and am trying to fill in the blanks left by absolutely great songs like this one. I love it every time I hear it.
