Musically, "Too Old to Rock 'n Roll, Too Young to Die" blends elements of rock, folk, and blues, characteristic of Jethro Tull's eclectic style. The song features catchy guitar riffs, dynamic rhythms, and Ian Anderson's signature flute playing, adding a distinctive folk-rock flavor to the composition.
Lyrically, the song is filled with vivid imagery and poignant storytelling, as it delves into Ray Lomas's journey from youthful rebellion to middle-aged disillusionment. The lyrics reflect on the passage of time, the fleeting nature of fame, and the struggle to find meaning and relevance in a changing world.
