paroles de chanson Thirty-Nine And Holding - Jerry Lee Lewis

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
