A Hundred And One

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

His wife Donna 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
Nothing's gonna take this feeling away

Let the world turn, 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

Bobby 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
It's just the way they carried on
The same two kids as much in love
As the day they married on

They made a promise on their wedding day
Nothing's gonna take this feeling away

Let the world turn, years drift by
The fire will burn and 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, they're gonna die young
