Tommy still drives that ol' pickup truck   He had back in high school   He says he won't trade it in   'Cause they don't make 'em like they used to   His wife Donna's 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   Nothin's 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 won't grow old   And if they live to be a hundred and one   They're 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   It's been forty years but who'd 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   Nothin's gonna take this feeling away      (REPEAT CHORUS)      Gonna die young      (repeat three times)      They're still gonna die young...
