It's Only Rock 'N Roll - Emmylou Harris

(Rodney Crowell)

Well, it's only rock and roll keep you running from yourself 
When the only way to slow down is to fall 
And it's only rock and roll that caused you to leave home 
When the only way to get back is to crawl 

But the record people love you they can get you on the bill 
Change your name to money dress up fit to kill 
People all around you everywhere you go 
Don't worry if they love you son it's only rock and roll 

Yes and it's only rock and roll keep you jumping all the time 
When you really ought to sit this one out 
And it's only rock and roll keep on messin' with your mind when 
You don't know what they're talkin' about 

All around the world everywhere you go 
People got to have it 'cause it's only rock and roll 

It's only rock and roll yes it's only rock and roll 
People all around you everywhere you go 
Don't worry if they love you, 'cause it's only rock and roll 

Well it's only rock and roll when your money's in the mail 
And your love's on the back of the bus 
And it's only rock and roll when your records start to sell 
And you don't know why they're making such a fuss 

Telephone receiver ringin' off the wall 
Can I get witness each and every call 
Second that emotion chased into your soul 
Don't worry lest you linger, son it's only rock and roll 

It's only rock and roll yes it's only rock and roll 
People all around you everywhere you go 
Don't worry if they love you, 'cause it's only rock and roll 

It's only rock and roll. yeah it's only rock and roll 
All around the world everywhere you go 
People got to have it son it's only rock and roll
