A Hundred And One

LETRA

A Hundred And One

Tommy still drives that old pickup truck
He had back in high school
He says he won't trade it in
Cos they don't make 'em like they used to

His wife Donna's got a picture of Elvis
By the clock in the kitchen
Her hair and clothes come back in style
Every now and then

They made a promise on their wedding day
That nothing’s gonna take this feeling away

Let the world turn, let the years drift by
The fire will burn in their hearts just as bright
Time may take it's toll but their love won't grow old
And if they live to be a hundred and one
They're still gonna die young

Tommy spent years fixing wheels and brakes
At the Texaco on the highway
Donna kept the kids and did permanent waves
At the beauty shop on Fridays

It's been forty years but who'd ever know
By the way they carry on
Just the same two kids as much in love
As the day they married on

They made a promise on their wedding day
That nothings gonna take this feeling away

Let the world turn, let the years drift by
The fire will burn in their hearts just as bright
And time may take it's toll but their love won't grow old
And if they live to be a hundred and one
They're still gonna die young
They're still gonna die young
They're still gonna die young
They're still gonna die young
