Put a little fiddle in the middle it'll make it better* Warm your heart like an old love letter Make you feel like the day you met her Put some fiddle in the middle it'll make it better Well she called me on the phone, told me she was gone I swear I never did that little girl no wrong She left without a warnin, on a Monday it was stormin And I knew I had to write this song Didn't think I had it in me so I called my buddy jimmy To see what kind of advice my favorite hippy would give me He said it ain't about the start, it's not about the finish It's all about the in between Said put some fiddle in the middle it'll make it better Warm your heart like an old love letter Make you feel like the day you met her Just put some fiddle in the middle it'll make it better Took off with the last bottle of wine Gonna spend the night with a friend of mine Maybe one of the two will change my mind And send me home to you I can't sleep without a lullaby An old fiddle tune will do just fine Play me somethin slow that makes me cry And I'll come home to you So put some fiddle in the middle it'll make it better Warm your heart like an old love letter Make you feel like the day you met her Put some fiddle in the middle it'll make it better
