about

Boomer anthem about the joys of middle age, with humourous vocals and a driving country-boogie beat.

lyrics

(Gonna tell you a sad story...)
Well I woke up this morning, as near as I could tell,
I wasn't real sick but I wasn't quite well.
Ran to the doctor, said "help me please!"
He looked me over from my head to my knees.
He shook his head and he said "Oh my!
Too old to boogie, and too young to die".

Chorus:
Too old to boogie (That's what he said)
Too young to die (I might as well be dead)
He said "you can't do either one, so don't even try..."
You're too old to boogie, too young to die.

Well. I went to see my baby, she's my heart's delight,
Told her all my troubles, said it just wasn't right...
Said "Come on baby, grab your dancing shoes;
I need to rock away these old-man blues."
She shook her head with a tear in her eye,
Said "You're too old to boogie, too young to die".

Chorus:
Too old to boogie, (Oh, give it to me straight, now)
Too young to die (I don't feel so great!)
Don't say it too loud, you might make me cry....
I'm too old to boogie, too young to die.

Too old to boogie, (Oh, that's for sure)
Too young to die (You know, there ain't no cure)
Everybody says it, I guess they wouldn't lie....
I'm too old to boogie,
too old to boogie,
too old to boogie, too young to die.
(Oh man, I need a nap!)

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
