I'm Freaking Forty

This summer, I went to see Kid Rock headline at Summerfest (the world's largest music festival) :) with my good friend, Renni. Kid Rock had just turned 40 this year and wrote a song about it. I remember telling Renni that all I want for my birthday is for somebody to blast that song. Because my impending 40th (and don't try to tell me it's the new 30) is only 13 days away. I thought I'd share his song with you.

Kid Rock – Forty Lyrics
Well, I guess I’m freaking forty,
I can’t say that I am thrilled
I never dated Winona Ryder,
I probably never will.
Well I guess I’m freaking forty,
Oh, but I’m better off than some,
Well I might be freaking forty,
But you’re freaking forty-one.

Well I guess I’m freaking forty,
Now all the kids call me old man,
I need glasses and Alka Seltzer,
And a freaking prostate exam.
I guess I’m freaking forty,
But I’m better off than you!
Well I might be freaking forty,
But you’re freaking forty-two.
All right!

Well, I guess I’m freaking forty,
Well I’m a petered out Peter Pan,
And sometimes I feel foolish,
I make my living singing in this band.
I guess I’m freaking forty,
Well that’s what my momma said,
But Bruce Springsteen’s freaking sixty-two
And the Stones are almost dead.

Well, I guess I’m freaking forty,
I can’t say that I am thrilled.
Well still I’m a buck wild loving cowboy,
I don’t need them little blue pills.
I guess I’m freaking forty,
But it ain’t no thing to me,
Well I might be freaking forty,
Hell I’m lying, I’m forty-three!
Ye-Hah!
