Too Old to Die Young - Will Hoge

Eighteen was a rocket ride

I lit the fuse and I held on tight

Every day was a Friday night

And I’ve got the scars to prove it

It all blew up at 25

Saw those telephone poles flyin' by

And I don’t remember much that night,

I’m just lucky I got through it.

And I let it run like an open vein

Love the pleasure and curse the pain

Ohh, foolish things I’ve done

I’m too old now to die young.

Woke up alone at 35

Just across town from my ex wife

I get my two kids every Friday night

And I work all week to do it.

Their mama and me couldn’t work it out

Oh but that don’t seem to matter now

They’re all that I care about

And I’ve got their love to prove it.

And I let it run like an open vein

Love the pleasure and curse the pain

Ohh, foolish things I’ve done

I’m too old now to die young.

And I let it run like an open vein

Love the pleasure and curse the the pain

Ohh, foolish things I’ve done

And I never thought I’d make it here

Wish I could live another hundred years

Ohh, foolish the things I’ve done

But I’m too old now to die young

I’m too old now to die young

Oh, too old now to die young.
