[Verse 1]
They say there's a light at the end of the tunnel
But we're livin' on sweet dreams and neon signs
We can run, but there ain't no escaping the trouble
It might get us in the end, but it ain't gonna get us tonight

[Chorus]
Hey, gonna shine like gold
Take every turn on the winding road
Give me your hand, baby, don't let go
Don't die young, don't get old
Don't die young, don't get old

[Verse 2]
Keep every promise and hold on 'til forever
Keep stealing my heart like we ain't on borrowed time
Not a thing in the world that we can't make it through together
So even if tomorrow gives us a mountain to climb, a mountain to climb, I say

[Chorus]
Hey, gonna shine like gold
Take every turn on the winding road
Give me your hand, baby, don't let go
Don't die young, don't get old
Don't die young, don't get old
[Bridge]
When the stars in the sky shine their heavenly light on the river
I'll stand by your side, even if the water is cold
And we'll shine like gold, shine like gold
Even in the dark, gonna shine like gold
Shine like gold, shine like gold
Even when we're old, gonna shine like gold

[Chorus]
Hey, gonna shine like gold
Take every turn on the winding road
Give me your hand, baby, don't let go
Don't die young, don't get old
Don't die young, don't get old

[Post-Chorus]
Don't get old

[Outro]
Hey, gonna shine like gold
Take every turn on the winding road
