WELL YA KNOW I TURNED 50
TRYING NOT TO FEEL SO OLD
MY LIFE?S ALWAYS IN A HURRY
BUT THINGS JUST HAPPEN WAY TOO SLOW
I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT I?M SAYING
WHAT I?M TALKING ABOUT
LIFE IS REALLY KINDDA EASY
BUT KINDDA HARD TO FIGURE OUT
AND SO NOW I?VE DECIDED
TO WALK THE TALK THAT I?VE BEEN OWN
I?M GONNA TAKE IT EASY FROM NOW ON


MIDDLE 8
MY SOUL NEEDS TO BE SETTLIN? DOWN, I GUESS IT?S TIME
SLOWIN? DOWN THE RHYTHM OF THIS HEART OF MINE, YEAH
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT I MEET, AS I?M WALKIN? DOWN THE STREET
THEY ASK ME ?HOW YA DOIN??, I SAY ?I?M DOIN? FINE?
HEY YEAH

2VS
ALL THE THINGS THAT I?VE BEEN THINKIN?
ALL THE THINGS THAT I SHOULD KNOW
UP UNTIL NOW I?VE BEEN GOIN?
JUST AS FAST AS I CAN GO
BUT NOW I?M GONNA BE SLOWIN? DOWN
BEFORE LIFE IS COMPLETELY GONE
NOW THAT I?M TURNIN? 50
I?M GONNA TAKE IT EASY FROM NOW ON
HEY YEAH
NOW THAT I?M TURNIN? 50
I?M GONNA TAKE IT EASY FROM NOW ON

NICE AND EASY NOW, TAKE IT ON DOWN
