Intro:           2x

                                                    
Verse 1:  Well since our separation you have taken up with thee
                                                     
          They tell you just how wonderful you are
                                  
          Baby I have nothing but respect for you
                                  
          I would never try to rip you off
                                        
          Cause I know your heart still runs with mine
                                   
          You're just afraid of getting soft

                                      
Chorus:   It's a long, long way to the middle
                       
          The middle of the road
                                    
          Well, it's summer time in California
                     
          I never felt so cold
                                       
          It's a long, long way to the middle
                       
          The middle of the road
                               
          But I still love you baby
                           
          Why don't you come on home?

                                    
Verse 2:  Well, I put the bat out of my mind and my
                  
          Memories are good
                                   
          The hardwood floor neath your kitchen door
                                  
          Where you taught me all your dirty words
                                             
          When we first made love under your ivory cross
                           
          It was a rainy Easter Sunday
                                                
          And we were drinking champagne in the Mulholland hills
                                         
          When I finally felt that stone roll away

                                      
Chorus:   It's a long, long way to the middle
                       
          The middle of the road
                              
          But you still got a hold on me
                                
          Even though you're getting old
                                       
          It's a long, long way to the middle
                       
          The middle of the road
                              
          But I still love you baby
                           
          Why don't you come on home?
                          
          Why don't you come on...

                             
Verse 3:  Well happy birthday baby
                              
          Hope you're getting realistic
                                                                  
         You're two months and two years away from the same old sad statistic
                             
          To live out in the wilderness
                                 
          You gotta learn to start a fire
                                                
          But you can stand out there with your fist in the air
                                          
          While the rest of us get on with our lives

                                      
Chorus:   It's a long, long way to the middle
                       
          The middle of the road
                                     
          But don't you listen to me baby
                          
          I've been bought and sold
                                       
          It's a long, long way to the middle
                       
          The middle of the road
                               
          But I still love you baby
                           
          Why don't you come on home?
                           
          Why don't you come on...
