Middle Of Nowhere

Intro: Well, I come from the middle of nowhere But I had big plans for getting outta there So when dreams came calling I went chasing down that road And here I am strutting down these city streets A yellow brick road beneath my feet Ohh, 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 taking it slow With the summer breeze tangling our hair All those nights we spent moonlight talking Holding hands and barefoot walking And never letting go that was are 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 ol' Eddy still racing his Chevell And Ricky's raising hell And here I am sitting in an 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 Where the whole town shuts down for Friday night football games Spend Saturday circling 'round the square Where your next of kind lives just down the road And church on Sunday morning seems to lighten up the load Yea, I left a lot behind when I left there But my roots will live forever In the middle of nowhere Well I ride the wings of my dreams Until I see them through Then I won't slow down till my hometown is coming into view 'Cause my baby's 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
