Middle Age Crazy

(album: The Next Right Thing - 2003)

Today he traded his big Cadillac DeVille
He got a heck of a deal on a new Porsche car
He ain't wearing his usual grey business suits
He got jeans and high boots with an embroidered star

And today he's forty years old, going on twenty
Don't look for the grey in his hair, 'cause he ain't got any
He's got a young thing beside him that just melts in his hands
He's middle age crazy, trying to prove he still can

He's got a woman he's loved for a long, long time at home
Ah, but the thrill is all gone when they cut down the lights
They've got a business that they've been a while coming by
Been a long uphill climb, but now the profits are high

But today he's forty years old, going on twenty
And he hears of sordid affairs, and he ain't had any
And the young thing beside him you know, she understands
That he's middle age crazy, trying to prove he still can
Yeah, he's middle age crazy, trying to prove he still can...
