I've been burnin' all my bridges, I've been rootless for so long
A carefree gypsy not even knowing right from wrong
A wayward child swearing nobody would ever hold me down
I've been livin' like a drifter, I've been wandering on and on
A restless rambler always on the run
Here today, gone tomorrow and never looking back

But after all these years spent livin' on borrowed time
I can feel a void in my heart
When I face the brutal truth I see my life ain't worth a dime
And I' m longing for a brand new start

Caught in the middle, out of my mind
I've got to have a change 'cause my future's on the line
Caught in the middle, shot by both sides
I'm branded by my past, can I leave it all behind ?

I've been drinking with the devil, I've been stepping out of line
Playing with fire, no stranger to sin an' crime
Down an' dirty, walkin' on the border of the danger zone
I've been stumbling in the darkness, I've been left out in the cold
Slippin' an' slidin', losin' all control
An outcast heading for the gutter down on skid row

When I thought that I was alive I was just trying to survive
Driving fast on a road to nowhere
Now my back's against the wall 'cause I finally realize
That I'm alone with no-one who cares

Caught in the middle, out of my mind
I've got to have a change 'cause my future's on the line
Caught in the middle, shot by both sides
I'm branded by my past, can I leave it all behind ?

Caught in the middle, out of my mind
I have to make a choice, it' s a case of do or die
Caught in the middle, out of my mind
I know I've gone too far, will I have to pay the price?
