The Middle Third is intimately connected to Mercer Island, a city/island of some 25,000 in Lake Washington, which is just east of Seattle. It's a great place to live and raise a family... if you can afford it. "Sweet Home, Mercer Island" explains our conflicting feelings about life on the "Rock"...

Sweet Home, Mercer Island
(parody, “Sweet Home, Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd)

 

Big wheels and a big house,
Venti latte for me and my kin.
The 90 freeway is all backed up,
I missed the Sonics once again, if you can call it a sin.

Well, I heard Mr. Allen has a guitar
Well, I heard ol' Paul can lay it down.
Well, I hope Paul Allen will remember,
To invite us round to his compound.

CHORUS:
Sweet Home, Mercer Island
Where the skies are so pale,
Sweet Home, Mercer Island,
Lord, I’m praying for light rail.

At Microsoft they loved their options,
Now, we sure loved them as they grew,
Now, the DOJ does not bother me,
Does your conscience bother you?

Now, Mercerdale has got a skate park,
And they been known to break a bone or two.
Lord, they get me off so much,
They knock me down when I’m strolling through.
