Thirty-Nine and Holding (Live)

He's out there somewhere every night Where the music's playin' loud Doing all those 50's steps In a 1980 crowd The dim lights hide his milage lines The Clairol hides the gray And he won't mention anything That gives his age away Oh, he's 39 and holdin' Holdin' everything that he can From 17 to 25 He'll prove he's still a man He's holding to a candle And it's burning at both ends He's 39 and holding Holdin' everything he can You can bet he'll never see 39, again He should have turned loose long ago But still he's hangin' it in He still thinks that he's the man That he used to be He's 39 and holdin' And acting 23 Oh, he's 39 and holdin' Holdin' everything he can From 17 to 25 To prove he's still a man He's holding to a candle My God, it's burning at both ends He's 39 and holdin' Holdin' everything he can
