Always Twenty-One

So you lowered the flag
You've given it up
Gone and settled down
And now you're markin' time
Takin' life line in some eastern town

I'm still out here
Tryin' to prove to myself
That the world is round
The longer you carry a torch
The harder it gets to ever put it down

And me, I still need the room to run
To go flyin' straight into the sun
I won't give in, can't give it up
Still a believer, still in love
Still out here on the run
Always twenty-one

I got you now and forevеr
Even if you've really givеn in
'Cause I remember your smile and your touch
And the taste of your sweet summer skin

But as long as there's fights and causes
And half-kept promises
Some young girl's heart to win
I ain't never lettin' go
I'm never givin' up and I'm never givin' in

Yeah, 'cause me, I still need the room to run
To go flyin' straight into the sun
I won't give in, can't give it up
Still a believer, still in love
Still out here on the run
Always twenty-one
Always twenty-one

And I will dance for you
And for the promise that we made
But I won't ever feel your chains

'Cause me, I still need the room to run
To go flyin' straight into the sun
I won't give in, I'll never give up
I'm still a believer, still in love
Still out here on the run

Always twenty-one
