Thirty-Nine and Holding

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
