The Road's My Middle Name

(album: After The Reign - 1994)

Road's My Middle Name
I told you once the day we met,
I wouldn't be your king.
Your little darling sweet Rickey,
Isn't my routine
I've been around enough to know,
There's relly no one else
But when I hear that siren call baby,
I just can't help myself

I gotta go, hope you'll understand
I love you so, want you to be my woman.
I hear it call baby sounds so sweet and plain
I gotta go, 'cause the roads my middle name.

Well it's hard enough to love someone,
When they're right close to home
Don't you know I know it's hard now baby
Squeezing sugar from the phone.
Have mercy

This road is in my blood,
'Cause I'm Shorty's kid.
You gotta learn how to let me go baby,
Just like Juanita did.

Hear it call and it sounds so sweet and plain.
I gotta go, 'cause the roads my middle name.
I gotta go, 'cause the roads my middle name.
I gotta go, 'cause the roads my middle name.
