Song: Middle Of The Line Tab
Middle of the Line
Lee/West
INTRO: D G
G C
I was not a bad kid, I just had more energy than most
D
I often found myself at the end of my daddy's belt
C D G
Always runnin' 'til I ran right out of rope
C
Yeah I gave my folks some gray hair back in my young hard-headed days
D
And I may be a little older now
C G
But I'm a hundred proof that some things never change
CHORUS:
G
'Cause I don't live my life a-walkin' no line
D
I'm a little bit left and a little bit right and wrong some
G
I do it my way but the price I pay for livin' the life on the edge is lonesome
Em
Some hearts are broke 'cause I couldn't follow that narrow path no matter how I tried
F D G
I just can't keep both feet in the middle of the line
INTRO
When I tied the not in Tulsa, I was hardly old enough to shave
I tried to settle down, but Lord it came unwound
She was a good girl, I just couldn't live that way
Sometimes I think about her and the way it could have been
If I'd only been the kind who could just be satisfied
C D G
Goin' down a road that never bends
CHORUS (2x)
F D
I just can't keep both feet in the middle of the line
INTRO out
