[Intro]
Golden years, gold, woah, woah, woah
Golden years, gold, woah, woah, woah
Golden years, gold, woah, woah, woah
[Verse 1]
Don't let me hear you say
Life's taking you nowhere, angel
(Come up, up, b-baby)
Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
(Come up, up, b-baby)
[Chorus]
There's my baby, lost, that's all
Once, I'm begging you, save her little soul
Golden years, gold, woah, woah, woah
Come up, up, b-baby
[Verse 2]
Last night, they loved you
Opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
(Come up, up, b-baby)
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
[Chorus]
I'll stick with you, baby, for a thousand yеars
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden yеars
Golden years (Golden years, gold, woah, woah, woah)
Come up, up, b-baby
[Verse 3]
One of these days, and it won't be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car, twenty foot long
Don't cry, my sweet, don't break my heart (Come up, up, b-baby)
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day
I believe, oh Lord, I believe all the way (Come up, up, b-baby)
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
[Chorus]
There's my baby, lost, that's all
Once, I'm begging you, save her little soul
Golden years, gold, woah, woah, woah
Come up, up, b-baby
[Bridge]
Don't let me hear you say
Life's taking you nowhere, angel
(Come up, up, b-baby)
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
[Chorus]
I'll stick with you, baby, for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years
Golden years (Golden years, gold, woah, woah, woah)
[Outro]
Golden years, gold, woah, woah, woah
Golden years, gold, woah, woah, woah
