Well, I hope mama never hears this song
And I'd hate to make daddy feel guilty
I don't know why they called it a broken home
It was split in two but, damn, it built me
We put some miles on back and forth
I was backseat in the middle man
Between my sister and a suitcase
Texaco every other Sunday
Meet 'em halfway with a check in my back pocket
Bunch of "Mama said, daddy said"
Be sure and tell 'em I said hello
Pullin' off, wavin' from the window
I was too young to understand
I was a little girl and the middle man
Well, I gotta taste of rock 'n' roll
It's where I learned to talk to Jesus
And I made best friends with the road
It's where I got real good
I got real good at leaving
In the backseat, in the middle man
Between my sister and a suitcase
Texaco every other Sunday
Meet 'em halfway with a check in my back pocket
Bunch of "Mama said, daddy said"
Be sure and tell 'em I said hello
Pullin' off, wavin' from the window
I was too young to understand
I was a little girl and the middle man
Yeah, I was a middle man
Backseat, in the middle man
Between my sister and a suitcase
Texaco every other Sunday
Meet 'em halfway with a check in my back pocket
Bunch of "Mama said, daddy said"
Be sure and tell 'em I said hello
Pullin' off, wavin' from the window
And now I understand
That broken hearts are just part of the plan
Yeah, I was a little girl
And the middle man
