maggie baird – the middle of nowhere lyrics

[verse 1]
my little boy runs in from his friends
and says “mama, are we middle class?”
i take a deep breath and look out at a star
and wish that moment would pass
’cause what can i say that won’t worry his soul
when i think we’re about to go under?
we’re a long way from down, but we’re just about out
and i look in those eyes for the wonder

[chorus]
and i think it’s no time to be middle class
just one mortgage payment away from out on our assets
are gone now and we’re hanging in thin air
and middle class just means the middle of nowhere

[verse 2]
and he knows daddy’s not much fun to be around
he’s always looking so worried
and i guess i’ve been there myself these days
working too much and loving too hurried
well, i made some mistakes climbing those rungs
but our children deserve something better
now we’re avoiding the phone, we don’t answer the door
and we’re scared just to open a letter
[chorus]
because it’s no time to be middle class
just one mortgage payment away from out on our assets
are gone now and we’re hanging in thin air
and middle class just means the middle of nowhere

[bridge]
so i look at his face and i try to remember
how much better we have it than some
we still got some family, we still got each other
we got love, we got love

[chorus]
and i say it’s no time to be middle class
but no one here on earth can equal what we have with cash
we are gonna fight on ’till we’re flying high
and if the upper class looks up, they might just see us in the sky
because it’s no time to be middle class
but no one here on earth can equal what we have with cash
we are gonna fight on ’till we’re flying high
and if the upper class looks up, they’re gonna see us in the sky
