[00:00.00]Middle Ground (Album Version) - Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:08.01]Written by：Mary Chapin Carpenter
[00:16.02]For years she's lived on her own
[00:19.84]In a corner of the city
[00:23.57]Twice a year she gets back home
[00:27.28]Playing catch up with the family
[00:30.95]She tells her folks what they need to know
[00:34.66]Her mother says she's much too thin
[00:38.57]Her sisters ask about her beaus
[00:42.42]Her dad inquires hows business been
[00:46.15]She's 33 this time around
[00:49.87]She's alway's been real good at listening
[00:53.63]Her sense of humor never let's her down
[00:57.26]Except sometimes there's something missing
[01:01.52]Hey middle ground
[01:05.29]A place between up and down
[01:08.78]She could be safe and sound
[01:12.38]Oh to know middle ground
[01:24.25]For years she's been on her guard
[01:27.67]She's kind of tense around the shoulders
[01:31.49]She wonders why she works so hard
[01:35.23]She counts the days til they promote her
[01:39.01]Shell take a weekend now and then
[01:42.81]To stay in bed and watch the reruns
[01:46.53]Shell turn the phone off when guilt sets in
[01:50.25]But Sunday always kind of leaves her let down
[01:54.22]Hey middle ground
[01:58.28]A place between up and down
[02:01.77]She could be safe and sound
[02:05.25]Oh to know middle ground
[02:09.49]She gave her heart away one time
[02:12.66]And says that she hasn't seen it since
[02:17.25]Love's a puzzle in her mind
[02:20.62]The pieces match but don't quite fit
[02:47.28]And these day's run thick or thin
[02:50.83]It never rains or else it's pouring
[02:54.64]All her single friend's are men
[02:58.25]She think's married girl's are so damn boring
[03:02.40]Hey middle ground
[03:06.44]A place between up and down
[03:09.89]She could be safe and sound
[03:13.56]Oh to know middle ground
[03:16.98]Hey middle ground
[03:21.62]A place between up and down
[03:24.39]She could be safe and sound
[03:28.63]Oh to know middle ground
[03:32.32]Oh to know middle ground
[03:35.92]Oh to know middle ground
