Age before beauty

Back in '67 we had barely begun,
We though we were the Beatles,
So we followed the sun,
Youth wasn't wasted on the young,
As the years went by,
It was a matter of will,
A little bit older, still chasin' the thrill,
Still burnin' rubber flyin' over that hill.

And it's age before beauty,
Strength over time,
Down in a blaze of glory,
The fountain of youth is a state of mind,
So move over cutie,
It's age before beauty,
Forget about the fashion,
Let them pass you by,
They come around full circle,
In a blink of an eye,
Flower power, bell bottoms, ticket to ride.

And it's age before beauty,
Strength over time,
Down in a blaze of glory,
The fountain of youth is a state of mind,
So move over cutie,
It's age before beauty,
Forget about the fashion,
Let them pass you by,
They come around full circle,
In a blink of an eye,
Flower power, bell bottoms, ticket to ride.

Clear as day, I can still remember,
They turned it up and called it rock and roll,
Three chords strong and a rebel spirit,
Baby we're still learning,
We'll keep that fire burning,
Baby there ain't nothing new under the sun.

And it's age before beauty,
Strength over time,
Down in a blaze of glory,
The fountain of youth is a state of mind,
So move over cutie,
It's age before beauty,
Forget about the fashion,
Let them pass you by,
They come around full circle,
In a blink of an eye,
Flower power, bell bottoms, ticket to ride.
