39 and Holding - Live

Mercy
 Billy's out there somewhere
 Every night he's got the music playing loud
 He's on the 50 steps
 He's in the 1980 crowd
 The dim lights hide the mileage line
 Clairol hides the gray
 And he won't mention anything to give his old age away
 Oh Lord, he's 39 and he's holding
 He's holding everything that he can
 17 to 25, he'll prove that he's a man
 Boy, you're holding to a candle and it's burning at both ends
 39 and he's holding, holding everything that he can
 ♪
 Yeah, he's looking lovely
 Spending his way through Texas
 ♪
 You can bet he ain't gonna never see no 39 again
 Son, you ought to give it up a long time ago
 But you just keep on hanging it in
 He still thinks that he's the man that he once used to be
 Son, you're 39 and you're dreaming out here acting 23
 Yeah, Lord, he's 39 and he's holding
 Holding everything that he can
 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 he's holding, holding everything that he can
 ♪
 Think about it, darling
 
 Today's 39 and holding
 45 and dreaming
 48 and scheming
