Tommy still drives that ol' pick up truck

He had back in high school

He says he won't trade it in

'Cause they don't make 'em like they used to

His wife Donna's got a picture of Elvis

By the clock in the kitchen

Her hair and clothes come back in style

Every now and then

They made a promise on their wedding day

Nothin's gonna take tis feeling away



Chorus:



Let the world turn

Let the years drift by

The fire will burn

In their hearts just as bright

Tim may take its toll

But their love won't grow old

And if they live to be a hundred and one

They're still gonna die young



Tommy spent years fixin' wheels and brakes

At the Texaco on the highway

Donna kept the kids and did permanent waves

At the beauty shop on Fridays

It's been forty years but who'd ever know

By the way they carry on

Just the same two kids as much in love

As the day they married on

They made a promise on their wedding day

Nothin's gonna take this feeling away



(Chorus)



Gonna die young



(Repeat 3 times)



They're still gonna die young
