As the nights have passed
And the girls wouldnât last
And the whiskey is short in your glass
Itâs a lesson to learn
Itâs a path that you will burn
On your way to fame and glory
Chorus:
Youâd 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
Youâre hurting all over
Chorus
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 youâre ready to slip
Down the path to fame and glory
Many nights have passed
And the girls they couldnât 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
