The Middleman
Poetry for now. Production soon.
verse
I’ve been going to bed with a bottle by my bedside
Just in case if you come back you’ll wanna raise your glass
Just like we used to do way back in Nashville
Way back before the daybreak, in the past
I’ve been going to bed daydreaming about the city
Even though I cursed it’s the last place you would find me
Now these mountains - they all suffocate my body
Maybe the altitude or just the lack of light
chorus
And you say just walk forward honey
But I don’t wanna walk if you can’t come along
Must be the middleman I’m hanging on to everything I’ve got and gone
It’s heavy here
verse
I’ve been going to bed reenacting what would happen
If I hadn’t made the jump no one would blame me
But I took a chance, I took a shot, got on the plane and I gave it up
It’s heavy here
And I’ve been going to bed hoping that when I wake up
The smoky range is right outside my doorstep
Didn’t know just what to do, what I did can’t see it through
It’s not heavy
chorus
And you say just walk forward honey
But I don’t wanna walk if I leave you on the way
Must be the middleman I’m hanging on to everything I’ve got and gone
It’s heavy here
