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
