Making fun of going thru a mid-life crisis

Lyrics

Very Difficult Time In My Life
© 2008 Steven P. Richards / Andy Horn


I DON'T KNOW WHY I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK
BUT THAT CUSTOM PAINT SURE LOOKS NICE
I'VE GOT TWO MORE BACK AT THE HOUSE
MAN, SOMETHING IN ME JUST AIN'T RIGHT

I'VE BEEN COUNTIN CARBS AND CLOSIN BARS
IT'S LIKE I'M LIVING IN ANOTHER LIFE
I'M A MIDLIFE CRISIS READY TO HAPPEN
IT'S GOING TO BE A HELL OF A RIDE

FIRST CHORUS:
COME ON LET'S GET THIS PARTY ROLLIN'
I'M ONLY HALF WAY DONE
I DON'T FEEL OVER THE HILL
I'M TWICE AS GOOD AS I WAS
WHEN I WAS TWENTY-ONE
JUST KEEP THE WHISKY FLOWIN
IT'S ON ME TONIGHT
I HOPE MY CREDIT CARD SURVIVES
THIS VERY DIFFICULT TIME IN MY LIFE

JOININ' THE GYM & MAKIN' NEW FRIENDS
MOST ARE HALF MY AGE
YOGA, PILATES AND DOUBLE-MOCHA LATTES
THEY TELL ME IT'S A PASSING PHASE

MY PSYCHOLOGIST IS QUITE IMPRESSED
APPARENTLY, I'M CLINICALLY "A MESS"
IT'S JUST AS WELL, I CAN'T PAY HER BILL
ANOTHER HARLEY'S ON THE WAY

SECOND CHORUS:
COME ON LET'S GET THE JUKEBOX GOIN'
THE BEST IS YET TO COME
I DON'T FEEL OVER THE HILL
I'M TWICE AS GOOD AS I WAS
WHEN I WAS THIRTY-ONE
JUST KEEP THE WHISKY FLOWIN
IT'S ON ME TONIGHT
I HOPE MY CREDIT CARD SURVIVES,
THIS VERY DIFFICULT TIME IN MY LIFE

BRIDGE:
NO TIME FOR DOWNSHIFTIN
I'M A MIDDLE-AGED KID IN MY PRIME
RUNNIN LATE FOR TANGO LESSONS
A GUITAR HERO, WITH BACKSTAGE PASSES
BON JOVI SEE YOU SATURDAY NIGHT
