[Verse 1]
G
He's out there somewhere every night
C G
The music's playin' loud
He's doing all-a those fifty's steps
A D
He's in a 1980 crowd
G
Dim lights hide the milage line
C G
Clairol hides the gray
C G
And he won't mention anything
D G
To give his old age away
[Chorus]
C G
Oh Lord, he's thirty-nine an he's holdin'
D G
He's holdin' everything that he can
C G
From seventeen to twenty-five
A D
He'll prove he's still a man
G
Hey boy, you're holding to a candle
C G
And it's a-burning at both ends
C G
Thirty-nine and holding
D G
A-holdin' everything that I can

[Verse 2]
G
Well, now you can bet he'll never see
C G
Thirty-nine, again
Should have turned loose long ago
A D
But still hes a hangin' it in
G
He still thinks that he's the man
C G
That he once used to be
Hes thirty-nine and holding
And Acting twenty-three
[Chorus]
C G
Oh Lord, he's thirty-nine an he's holdin'
D G
He's holdin' everything that he can
C G
From seventeen to twenty-five
A D
He'll prove he's still a man
G
Hey boy, you're holding to a candle
C G
And it's a-burning at both ends
C G
Thirty-nine and holding
D G
A-holdin' everything that I can
