39 And Holding - Country Party Band
He's out there
Somewhere every night
Where the music's playing loud
Doing all the 50's steps
In a 1980 crowd
The dim lights hide
His millage lines
The Clairol hides the gray
And he won't mention anything
That gives his age away
Lord he's thirty-nine and holding
Holding everything he can
From seventeen to twenty-five
He'll prove he's still a man
He's holding to a candle
And it's burning at both ends
He's thirty-nine and holding
Holding everything he can
You can bet he'll never see
Thirty-nine again
He should have turned
Loose long ago
But still he's hangin' it in
He still thinks
That he is the man
That he used to be
He's thirty-nine and holding
And acting twenty-three
Lord He's thirty-nine
And holding
Holding everything he can
From seventeen to twenty-five
To prove he's still a man
He's holding to a candle
My God it's burning at both ends
He's thirty-nine and holding
Holding everything he can
