Billy Burnette – Didn’t Start Livin’

Written by Billy Burnette and Tony Colton.

Well I thought I was a bad boy

Chasin’ everything in sight

I didn’t come alive

‘Til the sun went down at night

I thought I’d been everywhere

Done everything that a man could do

But I didn’t start livin’

Until I started lovin’ you

Well I’ve been to Rome, Georgia

And Paris, Tennessee

I couldn’t be tied down

Nothin’ had a hold on me

I was beginning to believe

I was one of the chosen few

But I didn’t start livin’

Until I started lovin’ you

You gave my life a whole new meaning

More than it ever had before

Since you’ve been my sweet angel

We’re knockin’ on Heaven’s door

I thought the neon nightlife

Was never gonna let me be

I thought that livin’ on the edge

Would always be my destiny

I thought I’d been everywhere

Done everything a man could do

But I didn’t start livin’

Until I started lovin’ you

Yeah, I didn’t start livin’

Until I started lovin’ you
