Tommy still drives that ol' pick-up 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

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

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, gonna die young

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

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

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
They're still gonna die young
