written by Bill Rice and Jerry Foster
G
He's out there somewhere every night
C G
Where the music's playing loud
He's doing all those fifty's steps
A7 D7
He's in a 1980 crowd
G
Dim lights hide the mileage line
C G
The Clairol hides the gray
C G
And he won't mention anything
D7 G
To give his old age away
C G
Oh he's thirty-nine and holding
D7 G
Holding everything he can
C G
From seventeen to twenty-five
A7 D7
To prove he's still a man
G
He's holding to a candle
C G
And it's a-burning at both ends
C G
He's thirty-nine and holding
D7 G
Holding everything he can
You can bet he'll never see
C G
Thirty-nine again
He should have turned loose long ago
A7 D7
But still he a hanging it in
G
He still thinks that he's the man
C G
That he once used to be
C G
He's thirty-nine and holding
D7 G
And acting twenty-three
repeat # 3 & 4

This fun old song has the same theme as Middle Aged Crazy, I'll bet most of us seniors have used this phrase more than once, "Thirty Nine and Holding", alas, it didn't work. Print Thirty Nine And Holding lyrics and chords and at least we can still sing it!
