They say it came from Berwin - Born in bungalows
We made our bones in basements - Won the Plaza talent show
We harmonized to the Beatles' Tell me why - Invaded with the brits
We rocked 'em at the Sock Hops after friday night games
We pressed up 45's - Though they mispelled our names
It was high-heeled boots and Corduroy suits in the hot July of '66
That when our record hit the charts
We found a map and threw the dart
And when I dream - I'm still nineteen
My feet can dance - My heart has wings
Though the times have changed - The fire remains
We are working the gift we've been given
Just livin' the dream - Still nineteen
Broke down on the shoulder - In one of our greenbriar vans
The first one drove to Green Bay for a night stand
We went on as a trio - Not to let our good fans down
Playing in Daytona with the Allman Joys
Good old Greg and Duane - Those southern boys
We opened up for Zeppelin - As our Vehicle hit #1
I can see it all so clear - As the miles disappear
And when I dream - I'm still nineteen
My feet can dance - My heart has wings
Though the times have changed - The fire remains
We are working the gift we've been given
Just livin' the dream - Still nineteen
Now it's forty-some years since we took to the stage
Spreading our brand of music from an ageless age
And each time I introduce that last song
I look across the crowd and the years are gone
I read in every face the future and the past
And that ever-precious present that we pray is gonna last
And I say 'strap yourself in and hold on tight
This is the Vehicle baby that got us here tonight.
And when we sing - We're still nineteen
Our feet can dance - Our hearts have wings
And through our love - We rise above
Now we pass the baton to our children
Start living your dream - While you're still nineteen
