It seemed awfully quiet here on Chordie  so I thought I'd try to livin' it up a bit.
Song about refusing to grow old without a fight !

Re: Song: Livin' Young ( Down Roads That Never End )

Jim, this is exactly the kind of energy Chordie needs more of! I love the idea behind this one — refusing to grow old without a fight is such a universal theme, but you managed to make it feel personal rather than cliché.

As someone who spent years behind a piano before picking up a guitar, I find that songs about aging and staying young at heart are always the ones that resonate most with audiences. There's something about combining that defiant spirit with a melody that just works.

Graham's right, it really is brilliant. The "down roads that never end" part of the title is my favourite bit — it captures this idea that the journey itself is what keeps us young, not some destination. Did you record this all yourself? The production sounds really clean for what I'm guessing is a home setup.
