 old gray fence tarr-chiped road bartons creek I'm almost home

 i tell buck about a one lane bridge around the bend upon the ridge

 theres tom sudds barn leanin just a little

there's myra's store smell the bar-b-q make ya stop for gas when you don't need to

20 miles to the nearest town hills and hollers all round

and that's me

yeah that's me right there in the middle.

(Chorus)

In the middle of what matters most

Father sons and holy ghosts

Open hearts and unlocked doors

Way of life worth fightin' for

If you're wondering where I'll be

Check out the mouth of Tennessee

and you'll find me right there in the middle. Yeah!

A wreck of wood

Stacked by the porch

Black lab pup

Scratchin at the door

Two little boys

Yelling daddy's back

Next thing I know

Its a wrestling match

And thats me

Yeah man that's me

Right there in the middle

Chorus

In the middle of nowhere

Nowhere I'd rather be

With the good lord up above me

And his earth beneath my feet.

Chorus

you fool with A in the bridge it helps
