Nineteen Ninety​-​Five

from Too Old To Boogie, Too Young To Die by Dusty Woods

about

Where are the guitar heroes of yesterday? Acoustic country-folk with a beat - a tribute to the older stars who've mostly been forgotten by everyone but the late night TV hucksters.

lyrics

Sometimes he wonders if it’s been worth the wait,
He ain’t had a hit now since 1968,
He does all the old ones, the ones that they all know,
And he hopes the disappointment doesn’t show.

He’s got a real good band that plays behind him in the bar,
None of them were born the year he first became a star,
He does the same show every night, he’s done it now for years,
And he’ll do your request for a beer

Chorus:
And if you take the trouble, he can still be found,
He still packs them in at the Tropicana Lounge,
And if you stay up late enough you’ll see he’s still alive,
On late night TV for $19.95

Sometimes he wonders how his fans could age so fast,
He’s a living Vegematic and a relic from the past,
He’s packaged up with 50 other ghosts you’ve heard before,
And this record’s not sold in any store.

Chorus:
If you take the trouble, he can still be found,
He still packs them in at the Tropicana Lounge,
And if you stay up late enough you’ll see he’s still alive,
On late night TV for $19.95

Dusty Woods Clementsvale, Nova Scotia

Born in BC, Canada in 1947, Dusty started performing in bands in his early teens. He was always honing his craft, learning stagecraft from more experienced performers.

Dusty passed away in Nova Scotia in 2017. The man is gone, but his music lives on. Dusty's online presence is managed by Mrs. Dusty (Jeri-Lynn Woods). My goal is to share the magic and keep the Dusty Woods legacy alive. ... more
