Lyrics
I told you once the day we met
I wouldn't be your queen
Your little darlin', sweet coquette
Just is in our routine
You've been around enough to know
There's really no one else
But when I hear that siren call, you know
I just can't help myself
I gotta go
Hope you'll understand
Baby I love you so
Want you to be my man
I hear it call
Sounds so sweet and plain
I gotta go, baby
Because the road's my middle name
Well, it's hard enough to love someone
When they're right close to home
Don't you think I know it's hard, honey
I got to get all that sugar on the phone
I guess the road is in my blood
I'm my daddy's kid
Just have to learn how to let me go
Just like my momma did
I gotta go
Hope you'll understand
Well, I love you so
Baby you know you are the only man
I hear it call
Sounds so sweet and plain
I gotta go baby
Because the road's my middle name
I gotta go darling
The road is my middle name
Let me go
You know the road's my middle name
