Carpenter, Mary Chapin - Middle Ground Lyrics
For years she's lived on her own
In a corner of the city
Twice a year she gets back home
Playing catch-up with the family
Her mother says she's much too thin
Her sisters ask about her beau
Her dad inquires, how's business been
She's thirty-three this time around
She's always been real good at listening
Her sense of humor never lets her down
Except sometimes there's something missing
Hey, middle ground
She could be safe and sound
Oh, to know middle ground
For years she's been on her guard
She's kind of tense around the shoulders
She wonders why she works so hard
She counts the days 'til they promote her
She'll take a weekend now and then
To stay in bed and watch the reruns
She'll turn the phone off when guilt sets in
But Sunday always kinda leaves her let down
Hey, middle ground; a place between up and down
She could be safe and sound; oh, to know middle ground
She gave her heart away one time, and says that she hasn't seen it since
Love's a puzzle in her mind; the pieces match, but don't quite fit; hey...
And these days run thick or thin
It never rains, or else it's pouring
All her single friends are men
She thinks married girls are so damn boring
Hey, middle ground; a place between up and down
She could be safe and sound; oh, to know middle ground
Hey, middle ground; a place between up and down
She could be safe and sound; oh, to know middle ground
Oh, to know middle ground; oh, to know middle ground

Carpenter, Mary Chapin Middle Ground Comments
This is the song that made me fall in love with Mary Chapin Carpenter's music and listening to it now, years later, it's lovely to rediscover it.
Absolutely adore Mary Chapin Carpenter her heart, her song lyrics, her voice do you have a motion that she invokes. Can't wait to see you again in concert!
Mary Chapin Carpenter is one of the best country music artists that came around in the late 80's early 90's in a long time
her voice, like summer velvet wafted up throught the exit door of the balcony, while I made lovely necklace...a virgin mary charm amidst a largeswirling glass bead set amidst a bicycle gear.
