D5 G5
Today he traded his big 98 Oldsmobile
E5 D5
He got a heckuva deal on a new Porsche car
D5 G5
And he ain't wearin' his usual grey business suit
E5 D5
He's got jeans and high boots with an embroidered star
Chorus 1:
F#5 G5
And today he's 40 years old going on 20
F#5 G5
Don't look for the grey in his hair 'cause he ain't got any
G5 D5
He's got young thing beside him that just melts in his hands
E5 A5 D5
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
