Pretenders - Middle of the Road lyrics

Middle of the road is trying to find me
I'm standing in the middle of life
With my plans behind me but, I got a smile
For everyone I meet
Long as you don't try dragging my bay
Or dropping the bomb on my street

Oh, come on, baby get in the road
Come on now in the middle of the road, yeah
In the middle of the road
You see the darnedest things
Like fat cats driving 'round in
Jeeps through the city
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suit's
Past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids
And man, I don't mean a Hampstead nursery
But when you own a big chunk
Of the bloody Third World
The babies just come with the scenery

Now come on, baby get in the road
Come on now in the middle of the road, yeah

One two
Three four
Five six

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've got a kid, I'm thirty-three, baby
Get in the road come on now
In the middle of the road
