G C G
He's out there somewhere every night where the music's playing loud
G A7 D
Doing all the 50's steps in a 1980 crowd
G C G
The dim lights hide his mileage lines, the Clairol hides the gray
C G D G
And he won't mention anything that gives his age away
Chorus:
C G D G
Oh, he's thirty nine and holding, holding everything he can
C G A7 D
G C G
He's holding a candle and it's burning at both ends
C G D G
He's thirty nine and holding, holding everything he can
Piano solo
You can bet he'll never see 39 again
He should have turned loose long ago but still, he's a hanging it in
He still thinks that he's the man that he used to be
He's thirty nine and holding and acting 23
Chorus
