Lyrics

39 AND HOLDING



I?VE BEEN TOLD?WHEN YOU GET OLD?LIFE IS NOT MUCH FUN

I DON?T CARE?FOR THAT ROCKING CHAIR THERE?S ALOT OF THINGS I HAVEN?T DONE


SOMETIMES IT SEEMS?THAT ALL MY DREAMS?ARE LIKE A TRAIN GOING PAST

MY LIFE WITH YOU?THE TIME JUST FLEW

I?M 39 AND HOLDING FAST.


(CHORUS)

39 AND HOLING FAST?TO WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE TRUE?OO?OO?OO

39 AND HOLDING FAST?HOLDING ON TO YOU.



JUST LIKE LAST NIGHT?IT WASN?T RIGHT?A YOUNG MAN SAID TO ME

HEY! OLD MAN?COULD I LEND YOU A HAND?AND HELP YOU ACROSS THE STREET

I SAID YOU KNOW?I MIGHT BE A LITTLE SLOW?AND IT?S NICE OF YOU TO ASK

NOW GET OUT OF MY WAY?IT?S MY BIRTHDAY?

I?M 39 AND HOLDING FAST.

(CHORUS)

A CALL FOR ME?IT?S THE AARP?AND WOULD I LIKE TO APPLY

THEY CALLED ME INSANE?WHEN I TRIED TO EXPLAIN

AT MY AGE I CAN?T COMPLY.

SOMETIMES IT SEEMS?THAT ALL MY DREAMS?ARE LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN GOING PAST

MY LIFE WITH YOU?THE TIME JUST FLEW

I?M 39 AND HOLDING FAST.

(CHORUS)
