 Tommy still drives that ol' pickup 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 this feeling away
 
 Chorus:
 Let the world turn
 Let the years drift by
 The fire will burn
 In their hearts just as bright
 Time 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
 
 (REPEAT CHORUS)
 
 Gonna die young
 
 (repeat three times)
 
 They're still gonna die young...
