27 Forever - Eric Burdon

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

Chorus:

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

Chorus

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 is no more whiskey in my glass

You know what they say

The good they die young

I could have stayed 27 forever
