Don Williams – Stay young Lyrics
Oh, don’t you lose that light in your eyes
You’re never too old to love, never too late to try
When somebody needs you
Give ‘em all you can give
When you’re livin’ to love and a lovin’ to live.
[Chorus:]
Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You’ve got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock n’ rollin’
All the best things in life for free.
[Instrumental]
Oh, don’t you feel like playin’ the fool
Just step out a line and break all the rules
Don’t you let them tell you, It’s not for you
Don’t go growin’ old, before you’re due.
[Chorus:]
Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You’ve got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock n’ rollin’
All the best things in life for free.
[Instrumental]
[Chorus:]
Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You’ve got everything that you need
Stay young with your rock n’ rollin’
All the best things in life for free…
