He gets up, checks himself in the mirror.  Another day, the same old routine.
Where is that wide-eyed boy with a lifetime of dreams?
Now a burned-out dude stuffed in some worn-out blue jeans.

And he says, “where has life gone?”

Shaves his head, gets some ink, rides a Harley. Snorts some lines and finds a younger wife.
He tries hard to forget, the bad choices and regrets,
Then grabs a beer and turns on TV.

And he says, “where has life gone?”

Midlife madness, midlife badness. Let’s forget about the midlife sadness
It’s a midlife crisis so come on ‘n join the party with me.

A lost soul stares back from the window, kids all grown ‘n husband gone with his lies.
As she recalls her bright career, the vacant years become clear
And the tears start to fall from her eyes.

And she says, “where has life gone”?

Midlife madness, midlife badness. Let’s forget about the midlife sadness
It’s a midlife crisis so come on ‘n join the party with me.

There’ll come a day, when you’ll look in the mirror and be surprised life’s already half gone.
You’ll remember the times, the life changing signs
Chances lost, you should’ve fought and easily won.

And you’ll say, “where has life gone”?

Midlife madness, midlife badness. Let’s forget about the midlife sadness
It’s a midlife crisis so come on ‘n join the party with me.
Midlife madness, midlife badness. Let’s forget about the midlife sadness
It’s a midlife crisis so come on ‘n join the party with me.
