Lyrics
Well, I heard a wise man say once
"You're only old as you feel"
But that's no comfort when you know you're gettin' old
And the devil's on your heels
There was a time when I believed it
But lately, I don't know, I just don't know
'Cause I ain't feelin' any closer to where I'm goin'
To be this far down the road
Yeah, I'm thirty-nine and holdin'
Rolling through the front side of oldin'
And these lines around my eyes
They tell a tale of a hill, that place, that view
The wheels of time, they keep on turnin'
But I found out they don't slow down for fame and glory
Or old troubadours like me, no
Thirty-nine and holdin' on
To nothing but a few chords and the truth
Well, this old dream is just a ghost that I've been chasin'
And chasin' way too long
'Cause there's times when I reach close enough to touch it
Then I reach out and it's gone
Now, I'm tired enough of sleepin', that's for sure
But I got miles left up ahead, all up ahead
And if this life has taught me one thing
There'll be time enough for sleepin' when I'm dead
Yeah, I'm thirty-nine and holdin'
Rolling through the front side of oldin'
And these lines around my eyes
They tell a tale of a hill, that place, that view
The wheels of time, they keep on turnin'
But I found out they don't slow down for fame and glory
Or old troubadours like me, no
Thirty-nine and holdin' on
To nothing but a few chords and the truth
Yeah, I'm thirty-nine and holdin' on
To nothing but a few chords and the truth
