IN THE MIDDLE OF IT (2021)
For my good friend who got cancer. At her request, I summoned all my hopeful energies and wrote a sing-alongable anthem of friendship and resilience. Written with Joe Plowman, in the halo of a recent Suzy Boguss show.

lyrics

I remember where it all went wrong
A bad day and the night was long
You were looking for the light of dawn
But you were right in the middle of it

Good lord, honey heaven sake
Are you never gonna catch a break
Takin everything that you can take
And you’re right in the middle of it

When it don’t work out
Well you know who to run
When it all goes south
Honey I’m coming south too
I’ll be knocking on your front door
Cause that's what a friend’s for
When you’re right in the middle of it
When you’re right in the middle of it

Never one for the easy route
Pretty girl from the dirty south
With a big heart and a bigger mouth
You were right in the middle of it

I remember the night we met
Walking down Carondelet
You said you could sing me the alphabet
We were right in the middle of it

When it don’t work out
Well you know who to run to
When it all goes south
Honey I’m coming south too
I’ll be knocking at your front door
Cause that's what a friend’s for
When you’re right in the middle of it
When you’re right in the middle of it

When it don’t work out
Well you know who to run to
When it all goes south
Honey I’m coming south too
I’ll be knocking at your front door
Cause that's what a friend’s for
When you’re right in the middle of it
When you’re right in the middle of it
