The Foundation of Middle Age Songtext
von 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
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
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 com'n home
You and the wife, have found, some understanding
And your nestled, deep into, that comfort zone


Why are you wearin′ 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
Well, 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
