Middle Man

Oh, I hope Mama never hears this song

And I'd hate to make Daddy feel guilty

I don't know why they called it a broken home

It was split in two, but damn, it built me

We put some miles on, back and forth

I was backseat in the middle, man

'Tween my sister and a suitcase

Texaco every other Sunday, meet 'em halfway

With a check in my back pocket

Buncha "Mama said, Daddy said"

"Be sure and tell 'em I said hello"

Pulling off and waving from the window

I was too young to understand

I was a little girl and the middle man

Oh, I gotta the taste of rock and roll

It's where I learned to talk to Jesus

And I made best friends with the road

It's where I got real good, I got real good at leaving

And I backseat in the middle, man

Between my sister and a suitcase

Texaco every other Sunday, meet 'em halfway

With a check in my back pocket

Buncha "Mama said, Daddy said"

"Be sure and tell 'em I said hello"

Pulling off and waving from the window

I was too young to understand

I was a little girl and the middle man

Yeah, I was a middle man

Backseat in the middle, man

Between my sister and a suitcase

Texaco every other Sunday, meet 'em halfway

With a check in my back pocket

Buncha "Mama said, Daddy said"

"Be sure and tell 'em I said hello"

Pulling off and waving from the window

And now I understand

The broken hearts are just part of the plan

Yeah, I was a little girl

And the middle man

Mmm
