Song Description

Staying awake in the middle of the night thinking about all the things on your mind, and it is the place you do your best thinking.

Lyrics

In the Middle of the Night

Verse:
I can tell by the glow
of the clock radio
I'm only half way through the night.
I've got a long way to go
with my mind on overload
and the end is not in sight.

Now I'm lyin' here awake
with my eyes closed tight.
How much more can I take
with all this on my mind, on my mind?

Pre Chorus
I think about:
Bills I have to pay
The well is running dry
my doctor left a message,
but he didn't say why.
My daughter turned sixteen,
and the boys are hanging 'round.
I chipped a tooth at lunch
am I gonna need a crown?

I think about:
Pink slips start next week
I hope they pass me by.
I don't know what I said,
but I know it made my wife cry.
The holidays are near
the credit cards are tapped,
Lightning hit the house
now the TV is zapped.

Chorus
I think about
Fallin' back to sleep
I try with all my might
I do my best thinkin'
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I do my best thinkin'
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I do my best thinkin'
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

Verse:
My pillow seems to be
like Mohammed Ali
and I fear I'm losing the fight.
There are aches in this bed
and pains in my head
It's a long way to morning's light.

Now I'm lyin' here awake
with my eyes closed tight.
How much more can I take
with all this on my mind, on my mind?

Pre-Chorrus:
I think about
Girls I used to know
and where they are today
If my wife could read my mind
I'd have to move away.
I can't jog very far
I got pain in my knees.
I think I need glasses
Cause it's gettin' hard to read.
I think about
A song stuck in my head
one I just can't stand.
I need to cut back on my drinkin'
get on a diet plan.
My son won't talk to me
'cause he can't use the car
I can't find my cell phone,
did I leave it at the bar?
