Somewhere in the Middle

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Couldn't have 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 and restless soul [Verse 2] Yeah, my family went broke in my eighteenth 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, and life was alright I worked when I had to, we played all the time Only got through that first year of college, alright [Chorus] But I learned more on the freight docks Drivin' forklifts on the three o'clock AM shift In the winter time, man, it got cold Sellin' guitars on the west coast Goin' hungry, chasin' ghosts around And around we would go And I saw it all tendin' bar at night Treatin' saints and sinners right Is a good thing to do all the time You never know who you're talkin' to But always know who's watchin' you Keep your feet movin' straight down the line [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 'Cause I learned more on the freight docks Drivin' forklifts on the three o'clock AM shift In the winter time, man, it got cold Sellin' guitars on the west coast Goin' hungry, chasin' ghosts around And around we would go And I saw it all tendin' bar at night Treatin' saints and sinners right Is a good thing to do all the time You never know who you're talkin' to But always know who's watchin' you Keep your feet movin' straight down the line [Chorus] But I learned more on the freight docks Drivin' forklifts on the three o'clock AM shift In the winter time, man, it got cold Sellin' guitars on the west coast Goin' hungry, chasin' ghosts around And around we would go And I saw it all tendin' bar at night Treatin' saints and sinners right Is a good thing to do all the time You never know who you're talkin' to But always know who's watchin' you Keep your feet movin' straight down the line [Outro] Yeah, and somewhere in the middle's just fine Yeah, somewhere in the middle's just fine
