Yes, the hubcap rolling across the nightclub is an AMC reference.

lyrics

AIN'T YOUNG ONCE ENOUGH?

G-Bm-E part

seems like your head is hammering your soul
with all the words that slipped your tongue
on their own
and now you’re wondering who you hustled
and who you hurt
cause they all stepped back when the old boy started his dirt

A-E-G - A bit
all night long you hung in tough with your teeth just toein the ground
your expertise is just what they don’t want

the scythe that’s swingin in back of your head
aint there to shave you now
old boy -- aint young once enough?

E- Bm-A

G-Bm-E
they got a neon sign says “sorry we’re open”
that means you gotta do…
…some of your own hopin
C
That the fountain of youth
G
and the bottle of truth
Bm
is the same one

G-Bm-E
but you’ve been around the block too many times to fall again for that stuff

A-E-G - A bit
you tried to get everybody to hear
the notes that are smacking your head
rattling your cage from the inside

twenty two dollars in the jukebox
man it’s got a throat so deep you can drown
down in it, boys, you can drown
bridge
B
you can drown
A
in a bathtub
C#m
wake up feeling like that hubcap honey, that rolled
F# E hold E
across the nightclub

G-Bm –E part again

all that sentimental corn has been harvested, again
and 57 coffee stands between you and your death
C G Bm
and your head is hammering your soul
G-Bm –E part again
with all the words that slipped your tongue on their own

A
all night long you hung in tough with your feet just touchin the ground
D
your experience
D/F (make a D and grab the F on the D string)
hey, keep that for yourself

A-E-G-A again
the scythe that’s swingin in back of your head
aint there to save you now
old boy -- aint young once enough?
old boy -- ain’t young once enough?
coda
B
you can drown
out there
A
on your own
end on E
