"27 Forever" lyrics

"27 Forever"

As the nights have passed
And the girls wouldn't last
And the whiskey is short in your glass
It's a lesson to learn
It's a path that you will burn
On your way to fame and glory

You'd sell your soul to the devil
To stay at this level and be
27 forever

Others might get a taste
Of what we really have to face
Awake from an endless sleep
You're hurting all over

You'd sell your soul to the devil
To stay at this level and be
27 forever

Now I hear a voice from the past
Calling out you should have joined us
In Rock and Roll heaven
Forever 27

And once you get on your feet
You feel that you're ready to slip
Down the path to fame and glory
Many nights have passed
And the girls they couldn't last
And there's no more whiskey in my glass
You know what they say
The good they die young
I could have stayed
27 forever

You'd sell your soul to the devil
To stay at this level and be
27 forever

27 forever

I could've be 27
Forever and ever and ever
You'd sell your soul to the devil
To stay at that level and be
27 forever
