[00:00:00] Middle Ground (Album Version) - Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00:02] Written by：Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00:16] For years shes lived on her own

[00:00:19] In a corner of the city

[00:00:23] Twice a year she gets back home

[00:00:27] Playing catch up with the family

[00:00:30] She tells her folks what they need to know

[00:00:34] Her mother says shes much too thin

[00:00:38] Her sisters ask about her beaus

[00:00:42] Her dad inquires hows business been

[00:00:46] She's 33 this time around

[00:00:49] She's alway's been real good at listening

[00:00:53] Her sense of humor never let's her down

[00:00:57] Except sometimes there's something missing

[00:01:01] Hey middle ground

[00:01:05] A place between up and down

[00:01:08] She could be safe and sound

[00:01:12] Oh to know middle ground

[00:01:24] For years she's been on her guard

[00:01:27] She's kind of tense around the shoulders

[00:01:31] She wonders why she works so hard

[00:01:35] She counts the days til they promote her

[00:01:39] Shell take a weekend now and then

[00:01:42] To stay in bed and watch the reruns

[00:01:46] Shell turn the phone off when guilt sets in

[00:01:50] But Sunday always kind of leaves her let down

[00:01:54] Hey middle ground

[00:01:58] A place between up and down

[00:02:01] She could be safe and sound

[00:02:05] Oh to know middle ground

[00:02:09] She gave her heart away one time

[00:02:12] And says that she hasn't seen it since

[00:02:17] Love's a puzzle in her mind

[00:02:20] The pieces match but don't quite fit

[00:02:47] And these day's run thick or thin

[00:02:50] It never rains or else it's pouring

[00:02:54] All her single friend's are men

[00:02:58] She think's married girl's are so damn boring

[00:03:02] Hey middle ground

[00:03:06] A place between up and down

[00:03:09] She could be safe and sound

[00:03:13] Oh to know middle ground

[00:03:16] Hey middle ground

[00:03:21] A place between up and down

[00:03:24] She could be safe and sound

[00:03:28] Oh to know middle ground

[00:03:32] Oh to know middle ground

[00:03:35] Oh to know middle ground
