Middle Ground
Mary Chapin Carpenter Song Lyrics
(Mary Chapin Carpenter) For years she's lived on her own In a corner of the city Twice a year she gets back home Playing catch-up with the family She tells her folks what they need to know Her mother says she's much too thin Her sisters ask about her beau Her dad inquires, how's business been She's thirty-three this time around She's always been real good at listening Her sense of humor never lets her down Except sometimes there's something missing Hey, middle ground A place between up and down She could be safe and sound Oh, to know middle ground For years she's been on her guard She's kind of tense around the shoulders She wonders why she works so hard She counts the days 'til they promote her She'll take a weekend now and then To stay in bed and watch the reruns She'll turn the phone off when guilt sets in But Sunday always kinda leaves her let down Hey, middle ground; a place between up and down She could be safe and sound; oh, to know middle ground She gave her heart away one time, and says that she hasn't seen it since Love's a puzzle in her mind; the pieces match, but don't quite fit; hey... And these days run thick or thin It never rains, or else it's pouring All her single friends are men She thinks married girls are so damn boring Hey, middle ground; a place between up and down She could be safe and sound; oh, to know middle ground Hey, middle ground; a place between up and down She could be safe and sound; oh, to know middle ground Oh, to know middle ground; oh, to know middle ground |
