Verse 1   The power poles are whizzin' by
            I got bugs in my hair, my teeth, and my eyes
            But I don't care, I'm with my man
            And we're livin' life, as free as we can

Verse 2   Last spring our last kid finally flew the coop
           Thought it was time to make some dreams come true
           Put the house on the market--the very next day
           Bought us a hog, and kinda ran away

Chorus   We turned those mid-life blues, into somethin' fit to use
           I fell in love with my best-friend...again
           Just cause you get old, don't mean you have to die
           Just cause you move slow, don't mean you can't fly
           You gotta do what ya gotta do--every now and then
      
Verse 3   He's got me decked out in leather and suede
            Lookin' like I did in my younger days
            I hold on real tight goin' round those curves
           The twinkle in his eye, is worth a thousand words

Chorus   We turned those mid-life blues, into somethin' fit to use
           I fell in love with my best friend...again
           Just cause you get old, don't mean you have to die
           Just cause you move slow, don't mean you can't fly
           You gotta do what ya gotta do--every now and then
Bridge   We ain't exactly young, but who really cares... who wants to go back in time?
            We're havin' so much fun, life's a double dare...we're just a little out of our minds...

              
Chorus  
We turned those mid-life blues, into somethin'fit to use
           I fell in love with my best-friend...again
           Just cause you get old, don't mean you have to die
           Just cause you move slow, don't mean you can't fly
           You gotta do what ya gotta do--every now and then

Tag          Just cause you get old, don't mean you have to die
            Just cause you move slow,don't mean you can't fly
            You gotta do what ya gotta do--every now and then

Let's Hurry Up & Do It

Chorus   Let's hurry up and do, before I lose my nerve
           I took her to the alter, with these romantic words
           Let's hurry up and do it, cause I ain't got time to kill
           Dogs need fed, grass needs cut, gotta fire up the grill
           Girl ya know I love ya, you know that you're my life
           So, let's hurry up and do it, say you wanna be my wife

Verse 1   I call her my old lady, she sits behind my on my hog
            We never had any kids, but acquired three bird-dogs
            I swept her off her feet, in nineteen eighty-two
            I had my own philosophy, and never followed rules
            I'm sure I sounded crazy with each progressin' word
            When I said, "Let's hurry up and do it, before I lose my nerve"

Chorus   Let's hurry up and do it, before I lose my nerve
           I took her to the alter, with these romantic words
           Let's hurry up and do it, 'cause I ain't got time to kill
           Dogs need fed, grass needs cut, gotta fire up the grill
           Girl ya know I love ya, you know that you're my life
           So, let's hurry up and do it, say you wanna be my wife

Verse 2   I said all things conventional, really bum my trip
            She said I need help, but I knew she found me hip
            I never looked her in the eye, but caught more than a glimpse
          We found some things in common and been shacked up ever since
          Then one day in July, right before my 49th
           I set my beer on the ground, and put her hand in mine
Chorus   I said, "Let's hurry up and do it, before I lose my nerve."
           I didn't bend down on my knee, I barely found the words
           Let's hurry up and do it, 'cause I ain't got time to kill
           Dogs need fed, grass needs cut, gotta fire up the grill
          Girl ya know I love ya, you know that you're my life
          So, let's hurry up and do it, say you wanna be my wife

Tag   I knew this was my last chance, to make it all work out
       When she said, "yes", I realized, what love was all about
