D                                G 
Today he traded his big 98 Oldsmobile 
                 Em                    D 
He got a heckuva deal on a new Porsche car 
    D                                        G 
And he ain't wearin' his usual grey business suit 
                        Em                        D 
He's got jeans and high boots with an embroidered star 
 
Chorus 1: 
      F#m                            G 
And today he's 40 years old going on 20 
      F#m                                               G 
Don't look for the grey in his hair 'cause he ain't got any 
         G                                             D 
He's got young thing beside him that just melts in his hands 
        Em                A7                       D 
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
