[Verse 1]
He's out there somewhere every night
Where the music's playing loud
Doing all the fifties steps
In a 1980 crowd
The dim lights hide his mileage lines
The Clairol hides the gray
And he won't mention anything
That gives his age away
[Chorus]
Lord, he's thirty-nine and holdin'
Holding everything he can
From seventeen to twenty-five
To prove he's still a man
He's holding to a candle
And it's burning at both ends
He's thirty-nine and holding
Holding everything he can
[Verse 2]
You can bet he'll never see
Thirty-nine, again
He should have turned loose long ago
But still-a he's a-hangin' it in
He still thinks that he's the man
That he used to be
He's thirty-nine and holding
And acting twenty-three
He's out there somewhere every night
Where the music's playing loud
Doing all the fifties steps
In a 1980 crowd
The dim lights hide his mileage lines
The Clairol hides the gray
And he won't mention anything
That gives his age away
[Chorus]
Lord, he's thirty-nine and holdin'
Holding everything he can
From seventeen to twenty-five
To prove he's still a man
He's holding to a candle
And it's burning at both ends
He's thirty-nine and holding
Holding everything he can
[Verse 2]
You can bet he'll never see
Thirty-nine, again
He should have turned loose long ago
But still-a he's a-hangin' it in
He still thinks that he's the man
That he used to be
He's thirty-nine and holding
And acting twenty-three
