I told you once the day we met

I wouldn′t be your queen

Your little darlin', sweet coquetteJust what 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 call

Sounds so sweet and plain

I gotta go, baby

Because 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

Yeah, I love you so

Want you to be my man

I hear it call, baby

Sounds so sweet and plain

I gotta go

Because the road′s my middle name

Hear it call

And it sounds so sweet and plain

I gotta go

′Cause the road is my middle name

I gotta go

'Cause the road my middle name

Ooh, I gotta go, darlin′

Because the road is my middle name
