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
