In Between College And Kids

E A
Things just ain’t what they use to be
B A
I’m stuck here in the middle in the in between
E A
Of who I used to be and the things I did
B A
Are now memories scattered by the wind
E A
Halfway to a half century old
B A
Has come and gone on down the road
E A
My body’s finally feeling some age
B A
Yeah I sure do miss those college days
Well I’m waking up when I used to come in
No more late night breakfast at 3 am
At Bob’s Diner after a night on the town
The sun used to come up before we’d shut it down
Well I sure don’t party like that anymore
I sure can’t drink like I did before
All in all I guess I’m alright
I’m just feeling a little sentimental tonight
Chorus:
B A
Now that I can see
B A E
I used to have a lot more time and lot less responsibilities
B A E
And it’s hard to believe how fast life is flying by
A B
I look back and laugh at all the crazy things I did
A B E A B A E
Now that I’m in between college and kids
Well this is when I thought I’d chase my dreams
See the world be footloose and fancy free
That plan started was going along OK
Before a few things started to get in the way
Now I’m paying a mortgage instead of rent
I got a wife that used to be my girlfriend
The biological clock ticking away
Gonna have our own little ones one of these days
Chorus
Bridge:
C#m B A
It ain’t that bad this growing old
C#m B A
Just kicking back and watching life unfold
Chorus
