Story Behind The Song
I must be feeling country today - this is the first song I have had a fiddle and a banjo!
Song Description
My husband and I have both been married before. He brought 2 kids into it, and I brought 4. Sounds like the Brady Bunch right? Not really. We went to one of Bob's son baseball game and his ex was there too. We sat on one side of the bleachers, and she sat on the other side. It was weird, but real.

Lyrics
Stuck in the Middle 2
[verse]
He felt like a rope pulled back and forth in a tug of war
Or a soccer ball bounced from head to toe
Or maybe he was the fly away ball in a baseball game
When his perfect family went up in flames
[pre-chorus]
Pulled in two directions, heartstrings intertwined,
Mom's side whispered love, Dad's side felt confined.
Caught in the crossfire, where did he stand?
He was trying to hold on, but he didn't understand.
[chorus]
Two homes, two hearts, each pulling him near,
Stuck in the middle, drowning in his fear.
He was just a kid, learning how to survive.
He was caught in the middle, Playing second fiddle
[verse]
He felt like a chess pawn sacrificed for the King and Queen
Or a quarterback who got sacked on the play
Or maybe he was a basketball in a zone defense
He was double teamed or he was benched
[pre-chorus]
[chorus]
[bridge]
He wore his smile like armor, but he was cracking inside
Every laugh echoed hollow, where did he confide?
He was caught in the middle, playing second fiddle
[instrumental]
[chorus]
