AGE BEFORE BEAUTY

 

Back in '67 we had barely begun
We though we were the Beatles
So we followed the sun
Youth wasn't wasted on the young
As the years went by
It was a matter of will
A little bit older, still chasin' the thrill
Still burnin' rubber flyin' over that hill

Chorus
And it's age before beauty
Strength over time
Down in a blaze of glory
The fountain of youth is a state of mind
So move over cutie
It's age before beauty
Forget about the fashion
Let them pass you by
They come around full circle
In a blink of an eye
Flower power, bell bottoms, ticket to ride

Repeat Chorus

Clear as day, I can still remember
They turned it up and called it rock and roll
Three chords strong and a rebel spirit
Baby we're still learning
We'll keep that fire burning
Baby there ain't nothing new under the sun

Repeat Chorus
