[Verse 1] Well, since our separation You have taken up with thieves They tell you just how wonderful you are Baby, I have nothing but respect for you And I would never try to rip you off 'Cause I know that your heart still runs with mine You're just afraid of gettin' soft [Chorus] It's a long, long way to the middle The middle of the road Well, it's summer time in California But I never felt so cold It's a long, long way to the middle The middle of the road But I still love you, baby Why don't you come on home? [Verse 2] Well, I put the bat out of my mind And my memories are good The hardwood floor 'neath the kitchen door Where ya, you taught me all your dirty words When we first made love under your ivory cross It was a rainy Easter Sunday And we were drinking champagne in the Mulholland hills When I finally felt that stone roll away [Chorus] It's a long, long way to the middle The middle of the road But you still got a hold on me Even though you're gettin' old It's a long, long way to the middle The middle of the road But I still love you baby So why don't you come on home? Why don't you come on... [Bridge] Well, happy birthday baby Hope you're getting realistic You're two months and two years away From the same old sad statistic To live out in the wilderness You gotta learn to start a fire But you can stand out there with your fist in the air While the rest of us get on with our lives [Chorus] And it's a long, long way to the middle The middle of the road But don't you listen to me, baby I've been bought and sold But it's a long, long way to the middle The middle of the road But I'll always love you, baby If you wanna come back home You come back...
