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
David Allan Coe è un cantautore e chitarrista statunitense nato nel 1939, considerato uno dei pilastri della musica country outlaw degli anni '70. Conosciuto per il suo stile diretto, le canzoni provocatorie e la personalità irriverente, Coe ha sfidato le convenzioni del genere country tradizionale, abbracciando temi controversi come l'alcolismo, la violenza e la vita al limite. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "You Never Even Call Me By My Name", "Longhaired Redneck" e "The Ride". Coe ha collaborato con artisti di spicco come Willie Nelson e Johnny Cash, contribuendo a definire l'estetica del country outlaw. La sua influenza si estende fino ai giorni nostri, ispirando generazioni di musicisti country che hanno seguito le sue orme.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
