Lyrics David Allan Coe

David Allan Coe

Rock And Roll Holiday

Why did you come here, what do you need

Don't look at me like you want me to plead

My friends are dying to make rock and roll stand

While we've been living in a country rock band

We've got to slow down - come down

We got to get off of this merry-go-round

Where did you go, Marilyn Monroe

If you see James dean, tell him i said hello

Janis sang here, jimmy did too

They're saving a place there for me and you

There's gonna be a rock and roll holiday

We've got to get there in time to play

Tune up the fiddle, rosin the bow

We could be the only country band on a rock and roll show

We've got to get up, no time to hit up

There's another crowd waiting for the music to play

Slow down - come down

Don't take a ride on death's merry-go-round
