"Middle-Aged Man" lyrics - KEITH STEGALL
All the dreams that never came true
Are still there every night in my room
When I close my eyes
All the things I wish I never did
Make we wish that I still was a kid
And time was on my side
And somewhere in the basin mirror
Is a young man whose life who slipped away
And the only thing getting clearer
Is that this shoulder length hair's turning grey
[Chorus:]
Sometimes I think I'm goin' crazy
Like the train has jumped the track
'Cause I think about leaving
And never looking back
The mother of my children
Tries to understand
She says you ain't crazy
Just a middle-aged man
Sometimes in the still of the night
When she's lying asleep by my side
I hold her close
And I wonder about her life
If it was worth it becoming a wife
20 years ago
And I wonder if it's me that she aches for
Would it matter if I walked away
God knows that she and the children
Are the only reason I stay
[Chorus 2x]
She says I ain't crazy
Just a middle-aged man
Just a middle-aged man
Just a middle-aged man
