The Divorcees - Too Old to Die Young

I took the back roads to nowhere
Tangled up in the pines
I drank beer and whiskey
You went straight for the mainline
Your star was on the rise
I howled curses to the wind
You bathed in wine and pearls
While my ragged soul wore thin
Now I’m too old to die young
And you’ve been gone so long
Aging with grace is just getting old
And I’m too far down this road
Drifting through the seasons
As I faded into rust
You were ruined by your demons
As you shiver in the dusk
Now it’s too late for regret
I’m past the given hour
Yet I ride out sure and steady
While you burned out like a fire
Now I’m too old to die young
And you’ve been gone so long
Aging with grace is just getting old
And I’m too far down this road
Now I’m too old to die young
And you’ve been gone so long
Aging with grace is just getting old
And I’m too far down this road
