Hes out there somewhere every night
Where the musics playin loud
Doing all those 50s steps
In a 1980 crowd
The dim lights hide his milage lines
The Clairol hides the gray
And he wont mention anything
That gives his age away
Oh, hes 39 and holdin
Holdin everything that he can
From 17 to 25
Hell prove hes still a man
Hes holding to a candle
And its burning at both ends
Hes 39 and holding
Holdin everything he can
You can bet hell never see
39, again
He should have turned loose long ago
But still hes hangin it in
He still thinks that hes the man
That he used to be
Hes 39 and holdin
And acting 23
Oh, hes 39 and holdin
Holdin everything he can
From 17 to 25
To prove hes still a man
Hes holding to a candle
My God, its burning at both ends
Hes 39 and holdin
Holdin everything he can
