Lyrics

An old woman in a rocking chair
Bills ain't paid and she don't care
When you're old sometimes you get brave
A little kid with a lot of friends
He ain't thinking about the end
When you're young you don't think that way

It's the middle that'll kill you if you ain't watching hard enough
It's the thing that drives you off the edge and keeps you tough
It's the middle that'll take it and your life will be the cost
Let it twist you let it turn and keep you lost

A little kid on a back porch swing
He is busy being king
When you're king there ain't no supper time
A little girl with a lot of dreams
Disappointment has no meaning
When you're dreaming life can be so fine

It's the middle that'll kill you if you ain't watching hard enough
It's the thing that drives you off the edge and keeps you tough
It's the middle that'll take it and your life will be the cost
Let it twist you let it turn and keep you lost

Remember standing on the edge
Remember when you turned your back
Has the world worn you out
It's breath in it's a turn about
