YOU STOLE MY midlife CRISIS - BY DAVE OLSEN

Well I'm gettin' older and you're gettin' smarter and we've been together for a while
But baby sometimes well I get the feelin' that we ain't goin' out in style
Well you know that sometimes 
I get the itchin' like I was only seventeen 
It's way too easy to look around thinkin' that the grass on the other side is green 'er

Baby I got my midlife crisis
I really don't know where my life's at
Baby I badly need to buy a Harley

CHORUS:
You went and stole my midlife crisis
You took my bike and all my vices
'Got me doin' Yoga exercises
My MLC, you jeopardized it
You went and stole my midlife crisis

Well I wake up early Sunday mornin' cuz it's my day fishin' with the boys 
But baby you woke up earlier than than me and you left me in charge of the noise
So I go on out back to my old shack to tune up my machine
But you stole my ride, you were nowhere in sight
You just left me your caffeine

Baby you stole midlife crisis
I really don't know where my wife is
Baby I don't know why you gone and done that 

CHORUS
 
Hey, Hey, Hey Now!

PEDAL STEEL SOLO

At sunset I'm sleepin'; I’m woken by a rumblin'
And I clock you ridin' up the lane
You're speedin' down the alley like a bat out of hell; 
you're the master of your domain
You slam on the brakes, dirt flyin' in my face
Now I'm 'bout to pick a bone
You put your hands on your thighs, stare me straight in the eyes
Sayin' "Get me one of my own!"

Baby you stole my midlife crisis
You're lookin' so very hypnotizin’
With that slick machine between your privates

CHORUS

Hey, Hey, Hey Now!
You went and stole midlife crisis
Hey, Hey, Hey Now!
You went and stole midlife crisis
Hey, Hey, Hey Now!
You went and stole midlife crisis


You Stole My Midlife Crisis

Manscaption Motivation - By Dave Olsen
 
I saw you walking by like a sexy super girl
You looked deep into my eyes, now you’re rocking my whole world
We walked along the beach and talked about stupid shit
You kissed me by the sea and baby that was it

It really seems just like a dream when you are there 	(ooo just like a dream)
We go inside and strip down to our underwear 		(ooo take off our jeans)
You look me in the eyes and say ‘Listen to me, Jack’ 	(ooo oh yes my queen)
‘If you want to get with me than you got(s) to shave your back’

CHORUS:
Manscaping
Manscaping
You’re given me, you’re given me 
The Manscaping Motivation

I’ve always tried so hard to win your sweet approval
You tell me book yourself at Laser Hair Removal
I’m waiting for your call so baby don’t be cruel
You text me don’t come over till you shave the family jewels

I’m lost in wonderland when you take off all your clothes 	(ooo you’re like a rose)
You smile at me and say ‘Hey bud, go trim your nose’


CHORUS 2X

When we’re on vacay and we’re chillaxing
You book me for a full body waxing... Waxing!

GUITAR SOLO

I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t be with you 	(ooo what would i do?)
You flash those baby blues and say ‘chest hair must go too’

CHORUS
You’re given me, you’ve given me the manscaping
You’re given me, you’ve given me the manscaping
motivation, vibration, sensation, elation!

  Last Train Home 
Music by Pat Metheny & lyrics by Dave Olsen
 
 
Now the day is just about done
Don’t see the end of what I’ve begun
My thoughts are full of former dreams
It seems like years have flown away
And still I’m waiting for
The last train home
 
Travelled over countless roads
And never stopped to lighten my load
The truth is always further on
Much further on inside myself
And still I’m waiting for
The last train home
 
Bridge:
Far off, the distant sound
A sound so familiar
It echoes through my soul
Calling me away
 
In my dream I am on that train
I am speeding back towards home again
The road I took is not yet through
I wish I knew where it will end
And still I’m waiting for
The last train home
