The old Rocker wore his hair too lo……… ng
wore his trouser cuffs too tight
unfashionable to the e………….nd
drank his ale too light
Death's head belt buckle, yesterday's drea… ms
the transport caf' prophet of doom
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams in his
post-war-babe gloom
Now he's too o .………ld to rock 'n' ro…… …ll
but he's too young to die
Yes he's too o… ……ld to rock 'n' ro….… …ll
but he's too young to die
He once owned a Harley Davids………….on
and a Triumph Bonneville
counted his friends in burned-out spa….rk plugs
and prays that he always will
But he's the last of the blue blood greaser bo……….ys
all of his mates are doing time
Married with three kids up by the ri… ng road
sold their souls straight down the line
And some of them own little spo…rts cars
and meet at the tennis club do's
For drinks on a Sunday, work on Mo……nday
they've thrown away their blue suede shoes
Now he's too o .………ld to rock 'n' ro…… …ll
but he's too young to die
Yes he's too o… ……ld to rock 'n' ro….… …ll
but he's too young to die
So the old rocker gets out his bi….…… ke
to make a ton before he takes his leave
Up on the A 1 by Scotch Co………rner
just like it used to be
And as he fli…es, tears in his e……….yes
his wind-whipped words echo the final take
And he hits the trunk road doing around a hundred and tw…….enty
with no room left to brake
And he was too o .………ld to rock 'n' ro…… …ll
but he was too young to die
Yes, he was too o… ……ld to rock 'n' ro….… …ll
and he was too young to die
Now, you're never too o .………ld to rock 'n' ro…… …ll
if you're too young to die
And now you're never too o… ……ld to rock 'n' ro….… …ll
but you're too young to die
