45 tunes in, we get to the "40" in "5240."

SIGH. Happy birthday to me.

lyrics

I'm in the middle of the road, I guess
If I'm lucky
'Cause the road could end any day or night
I ain't done half the things I meant to do
Had a head fulla "idears", guess they weren't true

Forty today
Kinda hard not to look back
(Criticize)
And wonder how I could've done it better
(Know I shoulda)
Forty today
I can scarcely believe it
(Second-guess)
Sure hope I've made some years matter

I know just what I'm missing
But what can I do?
Ain't got no wife
Ain't got no kids
But I gotta few friends when time permits
What the hell was I thinking?
I really don't know
Done what I could
To pay the bills
But I ain't found nuthin' that makes me fulfilled

Forty today
How I wish I could go back
(Do it right)
And kick Younger Me in the keister
(Don't be stupid)
Forty today
Just as clueless as always
(Take a hint)
The list of real choices gets shorter
