The Road Is My Middle Name
I told you once the day we met
I wouldn't be your queen
Your little darlin', sweet coquette
Just what my routine
You've been around enough
There's no one else
When I hear that siren call
You know I just can't help myself
I gotta go, baby
I hope you'll understand
I love you so
Want you to be my man
I hear it callin'
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go, baby
'Cause 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, baby
To squeeze the sugar from the phone
Guess the road is in my blood
'Cause I'm my daddy's kid
You gonna have to learn how to just let it go
Just like my momma did
I gotta go
I hope you'll understand
I love you so
Want you to be my man
I hear it callin'
Sound so sweet and plain
I wouldn't be your queen
Your little darlin', sweet coquette
Just what my routine
You've been around enough
There's no one else
When I hear that siren call
You know I just can't help myself
I gotta go, baby
I hope you'll understand
I love you so
Want you to be my man
I hear it callin'
Sound so sweet and plain
I gotta go, baby
'Cause 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, baby
To squeeze the sugar from the phone
Guess the road is in my blood
'Cause I'm my daddy's kid
You gonna have to learn how to just let it go
Just like my momma did
I gotta go
I hope you'll understand
I love you so
Want you to be my man
I hear it callin'
Sound so sweet and plain
