Songtexte
[Verse 1]
Don't abandon the light
Don't step away
Don't give up that tunes
That you never could play
[Verse 2]
If you're folding your tent
And the gas pipes groan
If every bone rattles
Through nights all alone
[Verse 3]
Well, you're tougher than leather
No old burlap sack
Not some hard scrabble weed
Growin' up through the cracks
[Verse 4]
Don't you know
You're never too old?
Never too old to hold somebody
Don't you know
You're never too old?
Never too old to hold somebody
You're never too old
To hold somebody
[Verse 5]
Don't think you've gone out
Don't flicker and fade
If you're gonna get lemons
Then you do what they say
[Verse 6]
The wind makes you weary
Oh, it knocks you around
Logs on the fire
Beats sun shining down
[Verse 7]
But you're harder that nails
No skinny old tack
You're still sharp as a razor
And I like you like that
[Verse 8]
Don't you know
You're never too old?
You're never too old to hold somebody
Don't you know
You're never too old?
You're never too old to hold somebody
You're never too old
To hold somebody
[Verse 9]
I could bet on a horse
But I'm betting on you
You still got what it takes
You got nothing, nothing to prove
[Verse 10]
You're never too old
Never too old to hold somebody
Don't you know
You're never too old?
Never too old to hold somebody
Oh, you're never too old
To hold somebody
Somebody
Somebody
