Why did you come here what do you need
Don't look at me like you want me to plead
My friends are dyin' to make rock and roll stand
While we've been livin' in a country rock band
We've gotta slow down come down we got to get off of this merry-go-round
[ steel ]
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
[ dobro ]
Slow down come down don't take a ride on death's merry-go-round
