the road's 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 to know

there's really no one else

when i hear that siren call

baby

i just can't help myself

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 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

honey

to squeeze the sugar from the phone

guess the road is in my blood

'cause i'm my daddy's kid

just have to learn how to let me go

just like my momma did

i gotta go

i hope you'll understand

oh

i love you so

want you to be my man

i hear it callin'

baby

sound so sweet and plain

i gotta go

'cause the road's my middle name

here it come

and it sounds so sweet and plain

i gotta go

'cause the road's my middle name

i gotta go

'cause the road's my middle name

oooh

i gotta go

darlin'

'cause the road's my middle name
