Lyrics
As the nights have passed
And the girls couldn'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
Twenty seven 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
Twenty seven forever
Now I hear a voice from the past
Calling out, "You should have joined us
In rock 'n' roll heaven
Forever twenty seven"
And once you get on your feet
Your feet are 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"
You could have stayed twenty seven forever
You'd sell your soul to the devil
To stay at this level and be
Twenty seven forever
Twenty seven forever
I could have been twenty seven
Forever and ever and ever
You'd sell your soul to the devil
To stay at that level and be
Twenty seven forever
