lyrics

If I could be a little bit younger If I could be a little bit older If I could be a little bit friendlier If I could be a little bit colder Then I would be a little bit better Yeah I would be a little bit better
But I'm a middle man, stuck in the middle
Right between everything tangible Just a middle man looking for a little
Of something that'll make me more radical
It's the only thing I've ever been
That's been undeniable That's a middle man, here I am Invisible but reliable

If I could be a little bit happier If I could be a little more cranky If I could be a little more Dixie If I could be a little more Yankee Then I would be a little bit better
Yeah I would be a little bit better

But I'm a middle man, stuck in the middle
Right between everything tangible Just a middle man looking for a little
Of something that'll make me more radical
It's the only thing I've ever been
That's been undeniable That's a middle man, here I am Invisible but reliable

If I could be a little bit uglier
If I could be a little bit prettier
If I could feel a little bit healthier
If I could feel a little bit shittier
Then I would be a little better
Yeah I would be a little bit better

But I'm a middle man, stuck in the middle
Right between everything tangible Just a middle man looking for a little
Of something that'll make me more radical
It's the only thing I've ever been
That's been undeniable That's a middle man, here I am Invisible but reliable

When The Bottle Rockets hit the scene in the mid '90s, the world wasn't quite sure what to do with them. With their punk- rock pedigrees and arena-rock energy, their tougher-than-Springsteen storytelling and their romantic hearts sewn bare on their denim sleeves, the pride of Festus, MO confounded musical generalities as they laid waste to clubs across the Midwest and then, soon enough, the nation. ... more
