Fountain Of Middle Age
Well, they told you that your life begins at forty
Well,  you know thats partly true...but mostly lies
And then they all come around to wish you a happy milestone
You just smile at then through the tear drops...in your eyes

Now you relate more to your parents than your children
Why your free spirit sits in shackles in its cage
And you tell them all you're fine 
You don't worry about the passing of time 
Meanwhile you're looking for the fountain of middle age

All the work you done finally starts to pay off
Some of your dreams at last are come 'n home
You and the wife have found some understanding
And your nestled deep into that confort zone

Aye you wear old jeans and you bought a new Corvette
And you wish your life would stand still at this stage
But when you look back on your youth 
You know it slaps you with the truth
You're just looking for the fountain of middle age

Oh, you don't want to be any younger 
Not unless you could know then what you know now
No, you don't want to get any older 
You just want to stay in limbo somehow

Well, you heard them say...you ain't gonna take it with ya
It's enough to send a sane man into a rage
You could leave it to the kids 
Or you can spend it all right here
On looking for the fountain of middle age

Now, if you find that secret Jack...you be sure to call me back
We're all looking for the fountain of middle age

**instrumental** till the end...time (1 min.)
