A, G, D, C...
Oh...
1. Middle of the road - Is trying to find me
I'm standing in the middle of life
with my pants behind me
I got a smile for everyone I meet
Long as you don't try draggin my bag
or dropping a bomb on my street
(chords like intro)
Now come on baby - We'll get in the road
Come on now - In the middle of the road, yeah
