 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
 
 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?
 
 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
 
 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...
 
 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
 
 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...
