Verse 1 These days I find myself Straddlin’ that fence between youth and age One boot still chasin’ Friday nights The other in church on Sunday twice Had a six-pack dream when I was twenty-one Now it’s two beers and I’m done Chorus Don’t wanna go forward, wish I could go back To a world that moved slow on a two-lane track Days weren’t pushin’ my back to move along Moonlight skinny-dippin’, now I mow the lawn Halfway cowboy, halfway old sage Straddlin’ the fence between youth and age Verse 2 Still crankin’ up Skynyrd in my truck But my knees say, “Son, you’re outta luck” Dance floor calls, I give a nod Then fake a limp and thank my God I chase those memories in my mind Till the treadmill says I’m outta time Chorus Don’t wanna go forward, wish I could go back To a world that moved slow on a two-lane track Days weren’t pushin’ my back to move along Kissin’ girls at midnight, now I yawn at dawn Halfway rebel, halfway old sage Straddlin’ the fence between youth and age Bridge Maybe someday I’ll choose a side Tonight I’m stuck in my easy ride Beer in my hand, dream in my head Singin’ to the glory days instead Final Chorus Don’t wanna go forward, wish I could go back To a world that moves slow on a two-lane track Days weren’t pushin’ my back to move along Raised a little hell, now I’m raisin’ my lawn Halfway cowboy, halfway old sage Straddlin’ the fence between youth and age Tag Yeah, I’m straddlin’ the fence… between youth and age
