39 and Holding (Live)

He's out there somewhere every night
He got the music playing loud
Doing all the those fifty's steps
He's in a 1980 crowd

The dim lights hide the milage line
Clairol hides the grey
And he won't mention anything
To give his old age away

Oh Lord, he's thirty-nine an he's holding
He's holdin' everything that he can
Seventeen to twenty-five
He'll prove he's a man

Boy, you're holding to a candle
And it's a-burning at both ends
Thirty-nine and holding
Holding everything that I can

You can bet he ain't gonna never see no
Thirty-nine, again
Son, you ought to give it up a long time ago
But you just keep on hanging it in

He still thinks that he's the man
That he once used to be
Son, you're thirty-nine
And you're dreaming
Out there acting twenty-three

Hey Lord, he's thirty-nine, and he's holding
Holding everything that he can
From seventeen to twenty-five
The prove he's still a man

He's a holding to a candle
My God, it's burning at both ends!
He's thirty-nine and he's holding
Holding everything that he can
