thirty-nine and holding (track#2)
jerry lee lewis
(j. foster, b. rice)
london november 4, 1982

he’s out there somewhere every night
the music’s playin’ loud
he’s doing all-a those fifty’s steps
he’s in a 1980 crowd

dim lights hide the milage line
clairol hides the gray
and he won’t mention anything
to give his old age away

oh lord, he’s thirty-nine an he’s holdin’
he’s holdin’ everything that he can
from seventeen to twenty-five
he’ll prove he’s still a man

hey boy, you’re holding to a candle
and it’s a-burning at both ends
thirty-nine and holding
a-holdin’ everything that i can

well, now you can bet he’ll never see
thirty-nine, again
son, you oughta given up a long time ago
but you just keep on hangin’ in

he still thinks that he’s the man
that he once used to be
boy, you’re just thirty-nine
and you’re dreamin’
acting twenty-three

oh-oh, he’s thirty-nine, he’s holdin’
holdin’ everything that he can
from seventeen to twenty-five
he’ll prove he’s still a man

he’s a-holding to a candle
my god, it’s burning at both ends!
he’s thirty-nine and he’s holdin’
holdin’ everything he can

spoken:
he’s thirty-nine and he’s dreamin’.
