Tommy still drives that ol pickup truck
He had back in high school
He says he wont trade it in
cause they dont make em like they used to
His wife donnas 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
Nothins 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 wont grow old
And if they live to be a hundred and one
Theyre 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
Its been forty years but whod 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
Nothins gonna take this feeling away

(repeat chorus)

Gonna die young

(repeats 3 times)

Theyre still gonna die young
