lyrics

It's sad but true
I got the middle managed blues
The low down no good
Middle managed blues

The boss man gave me my review
And said here is what we think of you
Before i rip you apart
Just know I never liked you right from the start
I can't stand the way you dress
And you hair is always a mess
Why don't you try high and right
Are you a left wing hippie who don't want to fight

It's sad but true
The middle managed blues
The damned if you don't or do
the middle managed blues


See this shirt tail just won't tuck in
and I'm the kinda trouble that the cat drug in
Everything you thing you think about me is true
I'm never going to do what you want me to

He said boy you better count your lucky stars
that your here in this office and not some old dive bar
A dive bar man that sounds like a dream
I'm only here for the pay check you know what I mean

I tell you
It's true
That's one way to lose
The damned if you don't or do the middle managed blues

You can guess that was the end of that job
Now Im working construction part time with Bob
8 bucks an hour don't get me to far
But it buys me a round in this old dive bar
And yes I am still stressed these days
My hair falling out and what don't turn grey
Either way it don't matter to me
I'm just here for the drinks you know what I mean

I tell you
It's true
One way to lose
The damned if you don't or do the middle managed blues

I tell you
It's true
One way to lose
The low down no good middle managed blues

Rodney Rice

Rodney Rice knows just how to capture the fleeting glimmers of an emotional moment in life and turn them into songs that evoke our own feelings of despair and hope, loss and love. Rice delivers his lyrics with a knowing nod and wink and a twinkle of the eye to the difficulties we encounter in our daily lives, and creates memorable characters in his songs whose foibles remind us of folks we know. ... more
