Middle of the Road Lyrics

(Ooh, ooh)
Middle of the road is trying to find me
I'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me
I got a smile for everyone I meet
As long as you don't try dragging my bay
Or dropping a bomb on my street

Lets come on baby
Get in the road
Oh come on now
In the middle of the road, yeah

(Ooh, ooh)
The middle of the road you see the darndest things
Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits
Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids
And man, I don't mean a Hampstead nursery
But when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world
The babies just come with the scenery

Lets come on baby
Mmm, get in the road
Oh come on now
In the middle of the road, yeah

One, two, three, four, five, six
(Ooh, ooh)

(Ooh, ooh)
The middle of the road is my private cul-de-sac
(Ooh, ooh)
I can't get from the cab on to the curb
Without some little jerk on my back
Don't harass me, can't you tell I'm going home?
I'm tired as Hell
I'm not the cat I used to be
I got a kid at thirty three, baby

Get in the road
Come on now
In the middle of the road, yeah
Trrr

Pretenders are a rock band who came to prominence during the punk and new wave movement of the late 1970s due to their innovative songwriting and charismatic performances. The original band consisted of group founder, songwriter, vocalist, and rhythm guitarist Chrissie Hynde, lead and rhythm guitarist James Honeyman-Scott, bassist Pete Farndon, and drummer Martin Chambers. Save for Hynde, a native of Akron, Ohio, the original band members were all from the U.K. This band was fractured by drug-related deaths and numerous subsequent personnel changes have taken place over the years, with Hynde as the sole constant. With Hynde at the helm, the band drifted through more adult contemporary-oriented territory, but experienced a critical resurgence with a trio of albums released between the mid-90s and early 00s that explored a more mature side of the band's classic sound.
