Fountain of Middle Age - The Bellamy Brothers

Well they told you that your life begins at forty

Well you know that’s partly true… but mostly lies

And then they all come around to wish you a happy mild-stone

You just smile at them through the tear drops… in your eyes

Now you relate more to your parents then your children

Why your free spirit sits in shackles in it’s cage

And you tell them all your fine

You don’t worry about the passing of time

Mean while you’re looking for the fountain of middle age

All the work you done finally start 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 comfort 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

Ohh you don’t want to be any younger

Not unless you could know then what you know now

Noo 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
