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
Hi Bob,
