Well, I come from the middle of nowhere But I had big plans for gettin’ out of there So when dreams came callin’ I went chasin’ down that road And here I am struttin’ 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 Drivin’ 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 talkin’ Holdin’ hands and barefoot walkin’ And never lettin’ 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 thinkin’ back I crack a smile I bet old Eddy’s still racin’ his Chevelle and Ricky’s raisin hell And here I am sittin’ 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 circlin’ down the square Where your next of kin lives just down the road And church on Sunday mornin’ 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 comin’ into view Cause my biggest dream is windin’ 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
