Age Before Beauty
Music and Lyrics by Jim Peterik

Back in '67 we had barely begun
We thought we were the Beatles, so we followed the sun
Youth wasn't wasted on the young

As the years went by it was a matter of will
A little bit older, still chasin' the thrill
Still burnin' rubber flyin' over that hill

Chorus
And it's age before beauty
Strength over time
Down in a blaze of glory
The fountain of youth is a state of mind
So move over cutie
It's age before beauty

Forget about the fashion let them pass you by
They come around full circle in a blink of an eye
Flower power, bell bottoms, ticket to ride

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

Clear as day, I can still remember
They turned it up and called it rock and roll
Three chords strong and a rebel spirit
Baby we're still learning
We'll keep that fire burning
Baby there ain't nothing new under the sun

Repeat Chorus
