The Road Don't Make You Young Video (MV)

[CAMEL, spoken]
All right, Jacob, let's get you started
See that shovel? Get to it

[WADE]
If I had one wish in this god forsaken life

[WADE & CAMEL]
I'd wish to be back home
With my children and my wife
But my debts keep pilin' up
So my work ain't ever done
Ain't it so (Ain't it so)
The road don't make you young

[CAMEL]
I've been hanging by a thread
By a wish upon a star
That the road that I've been forced on
Doesn't go too far

[WADE]
Just far enough to get me
Past each day as it comes

[CAMEL & WADE]
Ain't it so (Ain't it so)
The road don't make you young

Ain't it so (Ain't it so)
The road don't make you young
Ain't it so (Ain't it so)
The road don't make you young
No you don't get any prettier
When you're toiling in the sun
Ain't it so (Ain't it so)
The road don't makе you young

[CAMEL, spoken]
This'll be the fairway

[ENSEMBLE]
Step right up!
Comе on in!

Step right up! (Step right up, step right up)
Come on in!

Step right up!
Come on in!

[CAMEL, spoken]
You've been promoted. This is the menagerie

[JACOB]
I've been waiting
For the dust to settle
For the ringing in my ears to fade
So now I'm swimming
Down this river
Trying to keep a broken heart at bay
God willing, it'll heal someday

[BARBARA, VERA, & SUE]
I've been searching for the end of the day
Hoping to give my weary bones some rest

[JACOB]
It's not as easy as it sounds

[BARBARA, VERA, & SUE]
But the sun shown down
Heavy as a crown
Giving life, but feeling like death

[JACOB]
Keeping your head above the crowd

[WADE]
God willing, this ain't my last breath

[ENSEMBLE]
Ain't it so (Ain't it so)
The road don't make you young
Ain't it so (Ain't it so)
The road don't make you young
Bite off what you can chew
'Fore they take it off of you
Ain't it so (Ain't it so)
The road don't make you--

[CAMEL, spoken]
Voila, the cooch tent

[BARBARA, spoken]
All right ladies, here's the new bit
Do what you can, Sue
A five, six, ready, set

[BARBARA, VERA, & SUE]
Ladies, look what just walked in
Who's that strappin' specimen?
Is it man or is it critter?
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Makes my heart go patter pitter
I wanna know everything about you
Genus, species, name
History unknown, not to be tamed
Ha, ha!
Genus, species, name
Genus, species, name

[WADE, spoken]
You, newbie, you said you could pull. It's your lucky day
Come on, furl the jib, you pickeroo, look alive!
Pull it, shake it, break it, again!
[sung]
There's only one road in this god forsaken life
It binds before it plummets
From a god forsaken night
But you're gonna have to walk it
So you might as well have fun
Spend the dollar in your pocket
While there's hollar in your lungs

[ALL]
See Benzini Brothers Circus
For a one-night only run
Ain't it so
The road don't make you young

Ain't it so
The road don't make you young
Ain't it so
The road don't make you young

Live a life worth living
When they say it can't be done
Ain't it so
The road don't make you-

Ain't it so
The road don't make you young
Ain't it so
The road don't make you young
Live a life worth living
When they say it can't be done
Ain't it so
The road don't make you-
God willing
The road don't make you-

[AUGUST]
Ladies and gentlemen!
Children of all ages
Sinners, saints, kiddies, and corpses
I give you
Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth!
