Middle Man

(album: Neon Grave - 2023)

That old shop's still running, making money hand over fist
It's been more than a while since we've seen a year like this
My little brother got a damn good job cutting pines
The Braves look like they'll go all the way, like '95

But how many times have we said that?
Either way, things ain't half bad

Now I know You get a little busy
Probably more than I'd understand
And it might be hard to find the time
To be my middleman
And I'd give anything to tell him myself
But mama says praying means wishing
You've done more than enough, but if it ain't too much
If You see him, could You tell him I miss him?

If You see him, could You tell him I miss him? Yeah

Tell him his two-tone Chevy, yeah, it still fires right up
And they keep building houses like this town ain't big enough
And I'm sure he'd love to hear how I still talk to his old friends
God, You ain't gotta go out of Your way, but if You ever get the chance

'Cause I know You get a little busy
Probably more than I'd understand
And it might be hard to find the time
To be my middleman
And I'd give anything to tell him myself
But mama says praying means wishing
You've done more than enough, but if it ain't too much
If You see him, could You tell him I miss him? Yeah

Could You tell him I miss him? Yeah

If You see an old ballcap with an A for Atlanta
Overalls with a strap broke and a ball peen hammer
Through the left side loop
Don't let him walk right by You

'Cause I'd give anything to tell him myself
But mama says praying means wishing
You've done more than enough, but if it ain't too much
You've done more than enough, but if it ain't too much
If You see him, could You tell him I miss him?
If You see him, could You tell him I miss him? Yeah
