When I turned 40, I went back to college

With some kids who never heard of Kurt Cobain

Thought I could gain some useful knowledge,

Make a buck or two before it got too late.

Well, I'm afraid I didn't last long -

The only thing I got out of it was more debt.

And a new appreciation for a life I can't seem to let go of yet.



CHORUS

So I ain't gonna shut my mouth now

The old stream keeps flowing, only way that she knows how

My bank account my suffer, my self-esteem gets busted in,

But my middle-age dream is strong as it's ever been.



Sometimes the kids get up too early, after I've been out too late.

Their needs don't quit, because their Mommy,

Was off singing in some barroom out of state.

Will they resent that? Or be proud of me?

Did I risk it all just to be free?

But people cried, and some folks danced.

I just couldn't quit ‘em, so I took the chance.



My body changes, there's aches and pains

Things I took for granted, nothing stays the same.

But I still want it, like when I was young,

And put my hope in every song I've ever sung.
