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



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



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



I could bet on a horse

But I'm betting on you

You still got what it takes

You got nothing, nothing to prove



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
