A Hundred And One Lyrics - Ronna Reeves

Bobby still drives that old pickup truck 

He had back in high school 

Says he won't trade it in 

'Cause they don't make 'em like they used to 

His wife Donna got a picture of Elvis 

By the clock in the kitchen 

Her hair and clothes come back in style 

Every now and then 

They made a promise on their wedding day 

Nothing's gonna take this feeling away 

Let the world turn, years drift by 

The fire will burn in their hearts just as bright 

Time may take it's toll but their love won't grow old 

And if they live to be a hundred and one 

They're still gonna die young 

Bobby spent years fixing wheels and brakes 

At the Texaco on the highway 

Donna kept the kids and did permanent waves 

At the beauty shop on Fridays 

It's been forty years but who'd ever know 

It's just the way they carried on 

The same two kids as much in love 

As the day they married on 

They made a promise on their wedding day 

Nothing's gonna take this feeling away 

Let the world turn, years drift by 

The fire will burn and their hearts just as bright 

Time may take it's toll but their love won't grow old 

And if they live to be a hundred and one 

They're still gonna die young, they're gonna die young
