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
|
|
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
|
