On clear days it's fast black dead west

Sun on my cheek flat on my chest

I'm warm driving with all the citizens"

Halfway to work, halfway home



And the radio says there's been a terrible accident

Somewhere up by the waterways

I do more driving before 8 o'clock

Than most people do all day



"But the work is honest and the customers human"

Don't guess I could ask for more

The kids are in college and my wife is buying

Every single dress in the store

And Me, halfway to work halfway home



My doctor says my blood is pressuring me

My mama says this love is measuring me

Up each tick turned off

The road ices long before the bridge

Son just sit a while, and let the whiskey dull the edge

"But the work is honest and the customers human"

Don't guess I could ask for more

The kids are in college and my wife is buying

Every single dress in the store



And me, halfway to work halfway home

And me, halfway to work halfway home

And me, I just sit in this bar

And me, I just drive in my car

And me I just stay in my head

And me, I just sleep in this bed
