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 call Sounds so sweet and plain I gotta go, baby Because 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 Yeah, I love you so Want you to be my man I hear it call, baby Sounds so sweet and plain I gotta go Because the road's my middle name Hear it call And it sounds so sweet and plain I gotta go 'Cause the road is my middle name I gotta go 'Cause the road my middle name Ooh, I gotta go, darlin' Because the road is my middle name
