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
