Middle Of Nowhere

(专辑： Down South - 2008)

Well, I come from the middle of nowhere
But I had big plans for getting out of there
So when dreams came calling I went chasing down that road
And here I am strutting down these city streets
The yellow brick road beneath my feet
Oh, but sometimes in this skyline view all I see is me and you

And cotton fields and dusty dirt roads
Driving fast in my daddy's truck and takin it slow
With the summer breeze tangling our hair
And all those nights that we spent moonlight talking
Holding hands and barefoot walking
And never letting go that was our prayer
Back when we could see forever
From the middle of nowhere

I ain't been home in quite a while
But thinking back I crack a smile
I bet old Eddy's still racing his Chevelle and Ricky's raisin hell
And here I am sitting in some uptown bar
With big wigs big money and big cigars
Oh, but who's to say who's got it made
The one who left or those who stayed

Where everybody knows everybody's name
The whole town shuts down for Friday night football games
We spend Saturday circling down the square
Where your next of kin lives just down the road
And church on Sunday morning seems to lighten up the load
Yeah I left a lot behind when I left there
But my roots will live forever
In the middle of nowhere

Well, I'll ride the wings of my dreams until I seem em through
Then I won't slow down til my hometown is coming into view
Cause my biggest dream is winding up back there
Where I'll settle down forever
In the middle of nowhere

Someday my bones will rest forever
In the middle of nowhere
