Forever Young

Boots on the dock, cold rain on steel. Scar on my palm, I still feel the wheel. Father said, "Boy, keep your fire low." I kept it lit where the black winds blow. Drink from the cup, let the years roll by. Salt on my beard, but a wolf in my Eye. I hit that road when the pine trees Bend. I was born hard, I won't break for Them. Raise that horn, hear me call. Old bones shake, but I won't fall. Forever young. Forever young. Keep my name On your tongue. Forever young. Forever young. Wild in the flood. Wild in the blood. Mud On the hem, red clay in my blood. Back porch grin with a hammer and mud. I kissed goodbyes on a train-bound night. Still came back mean with a grin of light. Snow on the ax, gold on the ring. I learned to curse, I learned to sing. If the ridge goes dark and the crows beat Low, I'll carve my mark in the ice and Snow. Raise that horn, hear me call. Old bones shake, but I won't fall. Forever young. Forever young. Keep my name On your tongue. Forever young. Forever young. Wild in the flood. Wild in the blood. I Saw my ghost in the farmyard dust. I told him, "Brother, we burn, we rust." He laughed in the smoke, said, "Run it back." So I struck that drum with A Zhelezny crack. Forever young. Forever young. Keep my name on your tongue. Forever young. Forever young. Wild in the flood. Wild in the blood. Forever young. Forever young. No grave can hold what I hold Dear.
