Middle Age crazy

I'm a little more than half way through my adventure so it's appropriate for halftime entertainment. Here's an adaptation of Jerry Lee Lewis' "Middle Age Crazy" song.

3/3 - improved one line of the lyrics


Well today he traded in his old cross country track skis
He got a heck of a deal on new back country rails
He ain't wearin' his usual khakis and dress shirt
He's got nylon tights, back country boots, and a skull cap

And today he's fifty years old going on thirty
Don't look for no dye in his hair, hell he ain't got any
He's got a family that's his pride and joy
He's gone middle aged crazy cross skiing while he still can

He's got a woman that he's loved for a long, long time at home
Ah, but the thrill is all gone when they ski on groomed trails
Their cross country ski skills have been a while coming by
Hell, they've had lots of uphill climbs, but the payoffs were high

And he's fifty years old, going on thirty
He's dreamed of the Catamount trail, and now's his time
But his wonderful wife, she understands
He's middle aged crazy skiing the best that he can
