Cover art for Hey You lyrics by Bachman-Turner Overdrive

This song was written by Randy when he wasnt too happy with Burton Cummings. BTO and the Guess Who were competing bands on the airwaves at the time. It was the differences in the outlook they had on life when they were in the Guess Who together.

@hamishh Your right-on ! I watched a Youtube video with Burton & Randy on stage together and Burton stated the same thing before they played this song together.

@hamishh Thanks! That makes sense. I’m a 56 yr old 80’s dude enjoying what my narrow mind missed and playing some. Gotta’ love the feel of the tune, but I thought “Damn! Dude’s giving me shit for setting my guitar down 30 years ago and being a dad!” I feel better now!
