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
