I told you once the day we met   I wouldn’t be your queen.   Your little darlin’, sweet coquette   Just what 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      I gotta go   I hope you’ll understand   I love you so   Want you to be my man      I hear it callin’   Sound so sweet and plain   I gotta go, baby,   ’cause the road’s my middle name      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      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      I gotta go,   I hope you’ll understand   Oh, I love you so   Want you to be my man      I hear it callin’, baby   Sound so sweet and plain   I gotta go   ’cause the road’s my middle name      Here it come   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’   ’cause the road’s my middle name
