The Wife I Married to Down in Atlanta
I don't know about my wife in Baltimore
I gotta keep this big old truck a-rollin'
To get back to the one I left before
It's hard to play both ends against the middle
When you stay in the middle all the time
The only rest I get is when I'm rollin'
Down the road in this big rig of mine
It's awfully hard to keep two women happy
But don't you think that's kinda big of me?
It's an awful lot of kids to call me pappy
And it's about to make a wreck of me
It's hard to play both ends against the middle
When you stay in the middle all the time
The only rest I get is when I'm rollin'
Down the road in this big rig of mine
Now the one I married to down in Atlanta
Well, she wants to walk the streets of Baltimore
Lord, help me if they ever get together
Or bigger me is what they'll get me for
Well, it's hard to play both ends against the middle
When you stay in the middle all the time

When you stay in the middle all the time
The only rest I get is when I'm rollin'
Down the road in this big rig of mine
I'm rollin' down the road in this big rig of mine
