I'm working through my midlife crisis
Playing in a country band
That way I know my midlife is
Easier to understand

Some guys buy a red sports car,
Get a young girl to hold their hand
But I'm working through my midlife crisis
Playing in a country band

I'm working through my midlife crisis
Playing in a country band
I might not know where my wife is
But she knows where I am

She knows the stage I'm going through
Is the stage on which I stand
Yes, I'm working through my midlife crisis
Playing in a country band

It's not too late to turn things around,
To start up something new
Just make sure that you have found
Something you can do

And I can do this, it's called the bass

I'm working through my midlife crisis
Playing in a country band
And I'm learning how to play the bass
And drink with the other hand

It's the perfect job

No yacht, no Porsche, no trophy-wife,
To show the world I scored
Just a beer, a bass and the same old face
It's all I can afford

A midlife crisis (is) when your life is
Not the way you planned
And I'm working through my midlife crisis
Playing in a country band

Come on, George
