Middle Of The Road Lyrics
Artist: The Pretenders
In the middle of the road,
Is trying to find me.
I'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me.
But, I got a smile
For everyone I meet.
Long as you don't try dragging my bay,
Or dropping a bomb on the street.
Come on baby,
Get in the road.
Come on now,
In the middle of the road, yeah.
In the middle of the road,
You see the darnest things.
Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city,
Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits.
Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids and
Man I don't mean a Hampstead nursery.
But when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world,
The babies just come with the scenery.
Come on baby,
Get in the road.
Come on now,
In the middle of the road, yeah.
One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six.
In the middle of the road,
Is my private cul de sac.
I can't get from the cab to the curb,
Without some little jerk on my back,
Don't harass me kid,
Can't you tell I'm going home, I'm tired as hell,
I'm not the cat I used to be,
I've got a kid, I'm thirty-three baby.
Get in the road.
Come on now,
In the middle of the road.

Chrissie Hynde is the WOMAN!!!Rock Legend Goddess!
i try to understand the words of this
I've got a kid, I'm thirty-three baby.
This line is wrong everywhere I look. Its supposed to be
I gotta get a thirty three baby.
It means a beer, rolling rock is 33
Thank you Gary D
I love the way chrisie blows harp, and not only that but she's a great song writter,and not only that a great rhythm guitarist, and pretty too. (John 3:16,17)
@baconhat No it definitely says "I've got a kid, I'm 33" I've listened to it over and over, and that fits the 'midlife' theme of the song
The song fucking blows...she'll just another illiterate drug addict who can't sing...who also got her ass kicked by carly simon...look it up losers...if she was any good you would KNOW the lyrics...grow the fuck up and get with good music...not 25 plus year old 80's crap..hahahaah
My music rocks and 20 somethings wouldn't understand who I am...so you and carly who is a bit of me so she cool....Mya bullshit go fck yourself .........I am a rocking Eve
Ms. Ballzich (I'm sure they smell, too), you're an idiot.
para todos los comentarios agresivos, negativos, vayanse a lavar el orto. Como decimos en la Argentina: No hay poronga que les venga bien
"In the middle of the road,

She's right. Capitalism sucks.
The future is in direct worker ownership of the businesses. Unplug yourself from the matrix.
The correct line is:
"Past corrugated tin shacks and Blvd Pimps"
I grew up on her songs.
Crissie Hynde is amazing.
She's a true artist and the proof that a true artist doesn't pick art but rather the oppisite!
Nope, it's I got a kid I'm 33. I'm watching a Pretender's concert as I write this.
she can't sing though
She can. I loved her cover of I'll shall be Released by Bob Dylan
This is a great song and a punk like mya ballzich needs to shut up and go away. Don't worry kid,you'll grow up some day!
Long as you don't try dragging my bay,
Should be bae not bay
Bæ/bae is used by people on the internet who think it means baby, sweetie etc.
Bae I love u so much
