Keith Stegall - Middle-Aged Man
00
Copied!
All the dreams that never came true
Are still there every night in my room
When i close my eyes
And all the things that i never did
Make me wish i was still just a kid
And time was on my side
And somewhere in the face in the mirror
Is a young man whose life slipped away
And the only thing getting clearer
Is that this shoulder-length hair is turning gray
Sometimes i think i'm going crazy
That the trains jumped the track
'cause i think about leaving
And never looking back
And 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
Twenty 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 reasons i stay
Sometimes i think i'm going crazy
That the trains jumped the track
'cause i think about leaving
And never looking back
And the mother of my children
Tries to understand
She says, "you ain't crazy
Just a middle-aged man"
Sometimes i think i'm going crazy
That the trains jumped the track
'cause i think about leaving
And never looking back
And the mother of my children
Tries to understand
She says, "you ain't crazy
Just a middle-aged man"
She says i ain't crazy
Just a middle-aged man
Just a middle-aged man
Just a middle-aged man
Are still there every night in my room
When i close my eyes
And all the things that i never did
Make me wish i was still just a kid
And time was on my side
And somewhere in the face in the mirror
Is a young man whose life slipped away
And the only thing getting clearer
Is that this shoulder-length hair is turning gray
Sometimes i think i'm going crazy
That the trains jumped the track
'cause i think about leaving
And never looking back
