Never Too Old (To Hold Somebody)

Album: The Union (2010)

  • Don't abandon life
    Don't step away
    Don't give up that tune
    That you never could play
    If you're folding your tent
    And the gas pipes groan
    If every bone rattles
    Through nights all alone
    Well you're tougher than leather
    No old burlap sack
    Not some hard scrabble weeds
    Growing up through the cracks

    [Chorus:]
    Don't you know, you're never too old
    You're never too old to hold somebody
    Don't you know, you're never too old
    You're never too old to hold somebody
    You're never too old to hold somebody

    Don't think you've gone out
    Don't flicker and fade
    If you're gonna get lemons
    Then do what they say
    The wind makes you weary
    It knocks you around
    Logs on the fire
    Beats sun shining down
    But you're harder than nails
    No skinny old tack
    You're still sharp as a razor
    And I like you like that

    [Chorus]

    I could bet on a horse
    But I'm betting on you
    You still got what it takes
    You got nothing, nothing to prove

    [Chorus] Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
