Somewhere in the Middle

Couldn't ever dawned on me

All the things that I would be I

I never really looked out quite that far

It's never been a simple thing

To see the world with a young man's brain

With an old man's heart, restless soul

Yeah, my family went broke my 18 year

Dad took a job many miles from here that

That was alright by me I was on my own

I had a band, found a job, life was alright

I worked when I had to we played all the time

Only, got through that first year of college alright

But I learned more on the freight docks

Driving forklifts on the 3 o'clock a.m. shift

In the winter time, man it got cold

Selling guitars on the west coast goin' hungry

Chasin' ghost around and around we would go

And I saw it all tending bar at night

Treatin' saints and sinners right

It's a good thing to do all the time

You never know who you're talkin' to

But always know who's watching you

Keep your feet movin' straight down the line

I've known a lot of real good men

Grad school or no school

I've called 'em my friends, I'm

I'm somewhere in the middle and that's just fine

No, I don't give a damn how much money you make

If your last shirt has pockets, take all you can take, I'm

Well, I'm goin' out with nothin' like I came in

'Cause I learned more on the freight docks

Driving forklifts on the 3 o'clock a.m. shift

In the winter time man it got cold

Selling guitars on the west coast goin' hungry

Chasin' ghost around and around we would go

And I saw it all tending bar at night

Treatin' saints and sinners right

It's a good thing to do all the time

You never know who you're talkin' to

But always know who's watching you

Keep your feet movin' straight down the line

But I learned more on the freight docks

Driving forklifts on the 3 o'clock a.m. shift

In the winter time man it got cold

Selling guitars on the west coast goin' hungry

Chasin' ghost around and around we would go

And I saw it all tending bar at night

Treatin' saints and sinners right

Yeah, somewhere in the middle is just fine

Yeah, somewhere in the middle is just fine
