Lyrics:

1988
Writer: David Bellamy.

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
While 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've done finally start to pay off
Some of your dreams at last are comin' home
You and the wife have found some understanding
And your nestled deep into that comfort zone

Aye, your 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
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 you
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

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