Middle of the Road |
The middle of the road is trying to find me |
I’m standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me |
Well I got a smile for everyone I meet |
As long as you don’t try dragging my bay |
Or dropping the bomb on my street |
Now come on baby |
Get in the road |
Oh come on now |
In the middle of the road, yeah |
In the middle of the road you see the darndest things |
Like fat guys driving 'round in jeeps through the city |
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits |
Past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids |
Oh man I don’t mean a hampstead nursery |
When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world |
The babies just come with the scenery |
Oh come on baby |
Get in the road |
Oh come on now |
In the middle of the road, yeah |
One… two… three… four… |
The middle of the road is no private cul-de-sac |
I can’t get from the cab to the curb |
Without some little jerk on my back |
Don’t harass me, can’t you tell |
I’m going home, I’m tired as hell |
I’m not the cat I used to be |
I got a kid, I’m thirty-three |
Baby, get in the road |
Come on now |
In the middle of the road |
Yeah |
The middle of the road is trying to find me |
I’m standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me |
Well I got a smile for everyone I meet |
As long as you don’t try dragging my bay |
Or dropping the bomb on my street |
Now come on baby |
Get in the road |
Oh come on now |
In the middle of the road, yeah |
In the middle of the road you see the darndest things |
Like fat guys driving 'round in jeeps through the city |
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits |
Past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids |
Oh man I don’t mean a hampstead nursery |
When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world |
The babies just come with the scenery |
Oh come on baby |
Get in the road |
Oh come on now |
In the middle of the road, yeah |
One… two… three… four… |
The middle of the road is no private cul-de-sac |
I can’t get from the cab to the curb |
Without some little jerk on my back |
Don’t harass me, can’t you tell |
I’m going home, I’m tired as hell |
I’m not the cat I used to be |
I got a kid, I’m thirty-three |
Baby, get in the road |
Come on now |
In the middle of the road |
Yeah |
