Lyrics

The lights are low in Ireland tonight
And I'm on the Northern Highway
The goats are in the gardens
And the radio's playing 'My Way'
My car's seen better days
None of them with me
And this fine white line's the border line
Separating you and me
Well I'm thinking about a friend of mine
He says "I've got so many strings to my bow"
I said "If you want to follow the easy road
You'd better follow the one you know"
He ended up in the middle of the road
And I wound up on Six String Street
He's happy today in the middle of the road
And I'm on Six String Street
Well I worked in an office in '86
And the walls were painted grey
But I still get fluorescent flashes
Out on this Northern Highway
Not about my employment
It was no big deal
But a girl I knew was the one who
Changed the way I feel
She says "I know you care about this affair
But it can't go on you know"
I said "If you're looking for your home sweet home
You'd better just get up and go"
She ended up in the middle of the road
And I wound up on Six String Street
She's happy today in the middle of the road
And I'm on Six String Street
Now I find myself in the countryside
Maybe later I'll settle down
My heart is in these fields
And my true love's still in the town
She says "I can't sort out my life
And I certainly can't sort out you"
I said "Baby that's the last thing
That I would expect you to do"
Just come with me, set yourself free
Straight down the middle of Six String Street
Just hitch yourself up and come with me
Set yourself free
Straight down the middle of Six String Street
This is the circus and this is the bell
And this is the rhythm of Six String Street
