He released his first album, Son of Rock 'n' Roll, on EMI America in 1979. In the summer of 1980, his single "Tired of Toein' the Line" became a Top Ten hit in the United States. The song was also popular internationally. EMI America's financial problems interfered with promotion efforts for the follow-up singles (several of which became hits in other countries), and Burnette's second album, Heart Stopper, was not successful.
In 1981, Burnette toured Europe with the final version of his late father's The Rock and Roll Trio. He also used the band on his next album, Get Hot or Go Home! on Enigma Records. It also sold poorly, and Enigma dropped Burnette and the Trio rather than release a follow-up.
Burnette worked with Rosie Flores and Dwight Twilley in the mid-1990s, and also contributed vocals and the original "Trouble Is I'm in Love With You" to Paul Burlison's 1997 Train Kept A-Rollin' . In 1996, Burnette released Tear It Up on Core Records, which went bankrupt almost immediately after its release.
Burnette continued to tour internationally, and wrote the European hit "You Got Away With Love" for Percy Sledge in 1997.

My local radio station played this today and I was like, wait........I KNOW THIS SONG!!! Had forgotten all about it until today. What a classic! Loved it then and love it again now!
@heylad
That's EXACTLY what happened to me this morning! My local radio station started playing it and I was like, "Oh, this is a catchy guitar riff!". Then when the lyrics were going for a little while I was like, "WAIT! I know this song!!". I probably hadn't heard it in at least 35 years. I never would've remembered about this song had it not played today on the radio.
@ajbigs
Happened to me exactly yesterday! Love this song just never seen the videoclip! So good!
@davidstutzenburg7053
My local radio station that plays music on the weekends just started playing this
@ronaldnorris371
Even if they don't make em like they used to, I can always go back in music time and enjoy it all over again
@-ZIO
Amen!
@ericanton8578
I heard this song in the car with my wife. we CRANKED IT UP. I have not heard this in YEARS. You just can't be in a bad mood when you hear this song. God, I feel sorry for teenagers these days--their music sucks. And that's not just an old guy saying music was better back in the day--their music SUCKS!!!!!!!!
@KevinBenecke
These are the classics for sure. To bad we no longer have good music today.

I was friends with Rocky in the early 70's and spent time at his Uncle Dorsey's and Aunt Alberta's home in the Valley. He had the purest sound to his voice.
