The Road's My Middle Name - Bonnie Raitt

The Road's My Middle Name Lyrics

I told you once the day we met
I wouldn't be your queen
Your little darlin', sweet coquette
Just what my routineYou've been around enough to know
There's really no one else
When I hear that siren call, baby
I just can't help myselfI gotta go
I hope you'll understand
I love you so
Want you to be my manI hear it call
Sounds so sweet and plain
I gotta go, baby
Because the road's my middle nameWell, 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 phoneGuess 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 didI gotta go
I hope you'll understand
Yeah, I love you so
Want you to be my manI hear it call, baby
Sounds so sweet and plain
I gotta go
Because the road's my middle nameHear it call
And it sounds so sweet and plain
I gotta go
'Cause the road is my middle nameI gotta go
'Cause the road my middle name
Ooh, I gotta go, darlin'
Because the road is my middle name
