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

[repeat 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

[repeat chorus]
