Centerline

from MOONDOG by Joseph Huber

lyrics

It's a long, long ride down the road of time.
If you're wondering whose business I'm minding--it's mine.
Keeping my eye on the end in mind,
And trying not to cross that center line.

Some folks out there make you feel ashamed.
They'll cut you off, make you put on the brakes.
I stay in my lane, but you know sometimes
A man's gotta cross that center line.

Well, see me waving and weaving in the left lane.
I'm feeling like a one-way behind 20 tones of freight.
Don't take it the wrong way, but you know sometimes
A man's gotta cross that center line.

A real good woman, well, they're hard to find,
And even harder to please, and hardest to keep blind
To the fool you are, so mind the signs
Hoping you don't have to cross her center line.


Well, see me waving and weaving in the left lane.
Your love is like a one-way behind 20 tones of freight.
Don't take it the wrong way, but you know sometimes
A man's gotta cross that center line.

Now as this old engine burns, the only lessons left to learn
Get learned the hard way.
And as we slow to a crawl, I got a few more lines to cross
Before we parts ways.

You can't ask the Lord, "What's the meter say?"
You gotta live your life prepared every day,
To let go of the wheel and let those bright lights
Stare you straight in the eye across that center line.

Well, see me waving and weaving in the left lane.
This life is like a one-way behind 20 tones of freight.
Tried to be a good man, but to have a good time
A man's gotta cross that center line.

Joseph Huber Milwaukee, Wisconsin

After 7 years of hard touring and playing banjo with the influential streetgrass group, .357 String Band, Joseph Huber has found an individual voice that covers a vast range of influence. Playing all the instruments, from fiddle to harmonica to banjo to tambourine (and as many as he can at once) he amazes and entertains, but also reveals substance. His songs are lyrical, but he knows a good hook. ... more
