the middle of the road is trying to find me

I'm standing in the middle of life with my past behind me

but 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

come on now, in the middle of the road



in the middle of the road you see the darnedest things

like fat guys drivings limos and jeeps to the city

wearing big diamond rings and silk suits

there's corrugated tin shacks full up with kids

and man I don't mean no Hampstead nursery

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



in the middle of the road is a private cul de sac

I can't get from the cab to the curg

without some little jerk on my back

don't harass me, can't you tell I'm going home, I'm tired of selling

I'm not the kind I used to be

I got a kid, I'm 33 baby



get in the road

come on now - in the middle of the road
