Gillian Welch
Middle Age Crazy (2010)
Today he traded his big '98 Oldsmobile
He got a heck of a deal on a new Porsche car
He ain't wearing his usual gray business suit
He's got jeans and high boots with an embroidered star
And today he's forty years old, going on twenty
Don't look for the gray in his hair 'cause he ain't got any
He's got a young thing beside him that just melts in his hand
He's middle aged crazy, trying to prove he still can
He's gotta 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'vе got a business that they spent a whilе 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 aged crazy, trying to prove he still can
