I've got the middle aged beer gut baby boomer blues                
My wife wants to take an ocean cruise                            
Up in the morning, off to work                             
I pick up the kids and the laundered shirts                        
I've got the middle-aged beer gut baby boomer blues                        
I'm waiting for retirement and the ten o’clock news                    

We wore industrial strength rose colored glasses                    
Went to rallies instead of classes                                    
Now I see, I’ve been shown                                
We shoulda just left bad enough alone    

I've got the middle aged, beer gut, baby boomer blues                
What I have, is nothing to loose                                    
Monday night football is what I have left                        
I used to Rock and Roll now I’m nearly deaf                    
I've got the middle-aged beer gut baby boomer blues                        
I'm waiting for retirement and the ten o’clock news     

We set out to save the world                             
Thought we had a chance and gave it a whirl                    
We were wrong it’s sad to say                            
Human nature won the day    

I've got the middle aged beer gut baby boomer blues                
I want to boogie, instead I snooze                                
I used to be a partying fool                                
Now I’ve got to be careful or I’ll start to drool                    
I've got the middle-aged beer gut baby boomer blues                        
I'm waiting for retirement and the ten o’clock news     

Waiting for retirement and the ten o’clock news
