[Refrain]
Golden years, gold, whop, whop, whop
Golden years, gold, whop, whop, whop

[Verse 1]
Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
(Come get up, my baby)
Look at the sky, and life's begun, the nights are warm, and the days are young
(Come get up, my baby)

[Chorus]
There's my baby, lost that's all
Once, I'm begging you, save her little soul

[Refrain]
Golden years, gold, whop, whop, whop
(Come get up, my baby)

[Verse 2]
Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
(Come get up, my baby)
In walked luck and you looked in time, never look back, walk tall, act fine
(Come get up, my baby)

[Chorus]
I'll stick with you, baby, for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years
[Refrain]
Golden years, gold, whop, whop, whop
(Come get up, my baby)

[Bridge]
Run for the shadows
Run for the shadows
Run for the shadows
In these golden years

[Verse 3]
Some of these days, and it won't be long, gonna drive back down, where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car, twenty foot long
Don't cry, my sweet, don't break my heart
Doing all right, but you've gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day
I believe, oh Lord, I believe all the way

[Chorus]
There's my baby, lost that's all
Once, I'm begging you, save her little soul

[Bridge]
(Come get up, my baby)
Run for the shadows
Run for the shadows
Run for the shadows
In these golden years
(Come get up, my baby)
[Chorus]
I'll stick with you, baby, for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years

[Refrain]
Golden years, gold, whop, whop, whop
Golden years, gold, whop, whop, whop

[Outro]
Whop, whop, whop
Whop, whop, whop
Gold, whop, whop, whop
Whop, whop, whop
