Holiday

Lyrics of Holiday by Cameron Whitcomb

Verse

I was abused, overused, dumb, and underrated

I said, "Here, try this, I know you′re gonna hate it"

She got good grades, lovely, educated

And she swore one day that I was gonna make it

Pre-chorus

I said, "Mm, probably not"

My father kicked me out for drinking all his Scotch

He said, "Mm, kid, get lost" (what?)

I tried to break back in, he changed the locks

Chorus

Don't got nowhere to go, don′t got nowhere to stay

So, can I stay with you my holiday?

Don't got no change of clothes, but I got a song to play

So, can I stay with you my holiday?

'Cause you could be my honey bee

And I could be your wild, wild flower bouquet

And I don′t got nowhere to be

So, can I stay with you my holiday?

Verse

(What?) You could be my Lucy

I could be your Ricky

Bet your dad′ll freak out if he sees that hickey

You'll be wearing turtlenecks in the middle of July

Heard he got a Smith & Wesson

Do I really wanna die?

Pre-chorus

Said, "Mm, probably not" (probably not)

But I like your bed way better than the one I got (way better, way better)

Chorus

Don′t got nowhere to go, don't got nowhere to stay

So, can I stay with you my holiday?

Don′t got no change of clothes, but I got a song to play

So, can I stay with you my holiday?

'Cause you could be my honey bee

And I could be your wild, wild flower bouquet

And I don′t get nowhere to be

So, can I stay with you my holiday?

Bridge

I still got the scars from jumping out your window

A rebel with no cause and your mom said I was simple

And she's not wrong, all that I want is some bourbon and a bed

Honey, I'll put in the work to pay the rent

Chorus

′Cause I got nowhere to go, don′t got nowhere to stay

So, can I stay with you my holiday?

Don't got no change of clothes, but I got a song to play

So, can I stay with you my holiday?

′Cause you could be my honey bee

And I could be your wild, wild flower bouquet

And I don't get nowhere to be

So, can I stay with you my holiday?
