Most people don't know exactly where they're goin'
They'll take the path that's easiest for the load
The quickest way to get there with the most is
They'll take the front of a bus the back of the church
And then they take the middle of the road

Some poeple fight to get in front of one another
And they don't care if they step on someone's toes
When they arrive they have the first selection
And it's the front of the bus the back of the church
And then they take the middle of the road

The front of the bus is always crowded
And the back of the church is always filled
And if you take the middle of the road today
And always say I told you so

The easy way don't always come so easy
And don't take from the harvest if you can't sow
And if you'd find your last at everything there's still room
At the back of the bus the front of the church
And either side of the road
