Stay Young
Rick Nelson · The Last Time Around 1970 - 1982 [2010]
Ah, don't you lose that light in your eye
Never too late to love, never too late to try
When somebody needs you, give them all you can give
When you're livin' to love, you're lovin' to live.
Chorus:
Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You've got everything that you need
Stay young with your rockin and rollin'
All the best things in life are free.
Ah, dont you feel like playing the fool
Step out of line break all the rules
Don't let them tell you it's not for you
Don't go growin' old before you due.
Chorus:
Stay young keep your wheels in motion
You've got everything that you need
Stay young with your rockin and rollin'
All the best things in life are free...
Stay Young
