The Middle of the Road Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your Leer jet's on the runway
Waiting to refuel
Drinking dry martinis
With desperados and fools
The sky so blue above you
You ain't never felt so alone
You're thinkin' livin' on the edge
You're in the middle of the road

[Chorus]
Let it go
You can do it, you can do it
Let it go, Oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Life in the fast lane
Too slow for you
You drove your Chevy to the levee
An' all those gaskets blew
The highway patrolman says
"You gotta loosen your load"
You went hell for leather
Burnin' rubber in the middle of thе road, yeah

[Chorus]
Let it go
You can do it, you can do it
Let it go, Oh-oh
Lеt it go
You can do it, you can do it
Let it go, Oh-oh

Let the music save you

[Verse 3]
James [???] Brown
Is taking me down
That country road
Every brother is on the Doobie [?]
Gram left Emmylou so alone
Mr Crosby's on the freeways
[???]
The eagle flies alone

[Chorus]
Let it go
You can do it, you can do it
Let it go, Oh-oh

Let it go
You can do it, you can do it
Let it go, Oh-oh

[Outro]
Let the music save you
Let it go
You can do it

Let the music save you

Let it go, oh-oh

Let the music save you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
