[verse]
Been walking several miles a day
And working out with weights
Been tracking my cholesteral
I hope I’m not too late
My fancy new sunglasses
Make me look like a movie star
And I started classes yesterday
To learn to play guitar
[chorus]
This is my midlife crisis
Let me just enjoy it, please
I’ve survived so far
Without your psychotherapies
I know you mean well
With your advice and homilies
But, this is my midlife crisis
Can’t I just enjoy it, please?
[verse]
I’m scouting out convertibles
Down at the auto lot
Been checking out old ladies
To replace the one I’ve got
I think I’ll let my hair grow long
And maybe sport a beard
Next week I might just quit my job
And then disappear
[chorus]
[verse]
There’s lots of things I’d like to do
Sometime before I die
I haven’t lived the life I planned to
Once upon a time
And maybe if I buckle down
I still could scale the heights
But reaching my potential
Sure cuts into leisure time
[chorus]
