The Roads My Middle Name
Bonnie Raitt
INTRO: VERSE: I told you once the day we met I wouldn’t be your queen. Your little darlin’ sweet coquette Just wasn’t my routine You’ve been around enough to know There’s really no one else When I hear that siren call baby I just can’t help myself CHORUS: I gotta go I hope you’ll understand I love you so Want you to be my man I hear it call Sounds so sweet and plain I gotta go baby ’cause the road’s my middle name VERSE: Well 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 phone BREAK: Guess 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 did CHORUS: I gotta go I hope you’ll understand I love you so Want you to be my man I hear it call Sounds so sweet and plain I gotta go baby ’cause the road’s my middle name CODA: Hear it call And it sounds so sweet and plain I gotta go ’cause the road’s my middle name I gotta go ’cause the road’s my middle name Oooh I gotta go darlin’ (tacit) NC ’cause the road’s my middle name
