Middle Age Crazy
View chords used in this chart
D G
Today he traded his big 98 Oldsmobile
Em D
He got a heckuva deal on a new Porsche car
D G
And he ain't wearin' his usual grey business suit
Em D
He's got jeans and high boots with an embroidered star
Chorus 1:
F#m G
And today he's 40 years old going on 20
F#m G
Don't look for the grey in his hair 'cause he ain't got any
G D
He's got young thing beside him that just melts in his hands
Em A7 D
He gone middle age crazy, trying to prove he still can
He's got a woman he's loved for a long, long time at home
But the thrill is all gone when they cut down the lights
They've got a business that they've been awhile coming by
It's been a long uphill climb but now the profits are high
Chorus 2:
And today he's 40 years old going on 20
And he hears of sordid affairs but 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
