somewhere in the middle

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

restless soul

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

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 am shift

in the winter time

man it got cold

selling guitars on the west coast

going hungry

chasin' ghost 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 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 am shift

in the winter time

man it got cold

selling guitars on the west coast

going hungry

chasin' ghost 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 watching you

keep your feet movin' straight down the line
