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 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 You'd sell your soul to the devil To stay at this level And be 27 forever 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 You'd sell your soul to the devil To stay at this level And be 27 forever 27 forever
