Middle of the Road

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fortunes melt the same as ice Troubles curse the crying eyes Feelings change and break with the brand new day And a-faster than a prairie fire Moonlit nights of hot desire Winter is just a season gone astray [Verse 2] And the gang is on the TV show They didn't know which way to go 'Cause the bossman and the hitman are the same And the feeling of the family is gone And who is gonna say it's wrong When they don't even know if the victim's got a name? [Chorus] Spider starts to spin his web Causing you to lose your head Wondering exactly where to go Ah, there are plenty of ways to overrule If you just recall the golden rule You cannot drive down a middle of the road [Verse 3] Oh, it ain't so bad being so small Watching all the heroes fall Samson's just a freak who lost his hair And of all the diseases lovers cure Shame is the worst he must endure And Don Juan only wants his share [Verse 4] And the newspapers tell the tale They say that story is not for sale Except for the lawyers' paid advice And the devil claims it just ain't fair Fire has kept him unaware That anyone can walk on water as cold as ice [Chorus] Spider starts to spin his web Causing you to lose your head Wondering exactly where to go Ah, there are plenty of ways to overrule If you just recall the golden rule You cannot drive down a middle of the road [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 5] Ah, there just ain't no more home Out where the buffalos roam The sunset's far too gray to hold its own And it ain't that I hate your color TV Your Cadillac or your wife to be It just must be awfully hard to live alone [Verse 6] And the news is on the radio They still don't know which way to go Although they tell you exactly where it's at And a man complains that he's too fat A woman claims she lost her cat How I wish I could have troubles like that [Chorus] Spider starts to spin his web Causing you to lose your head Wondering exactly where to go Ah, there are plenty of ways to overrule If you just recall the golden rule You cannot drive down the middle of the road
