Middle Of Nowhere

Verse 1

Two-lane blacktop cutting through the pines

Fifty miles of nothing on either side

Radio's gone static halfway past the county line

Just me and the dashboard glow tonight

Tail lights fading like a memory

Mud on my boots from the rainy week

Got a half-empty tank and a full-tank ache

For a face I haven't seen in weeks

Pre-Chorus

And I keep rolling past the posted signs

Past the crossroads that I've memorized

Chorus

Middle of nowhere is where I found my heart

Stuck in the gravel where the wild dogs bark

Every mile marker says I'm still too far

Middle of nowhere is where you are

Post-Chorus

Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah

Verse 2

Stopped at the fill-up with the flickering sign

Old man said son you're a long way from fine

Told him I got a girl with a honey-honey smile

Waiting on me down that gravel mile

Passed the church with the steeple gone to rust

Passed the bridge where we carved our names in dust

Every curve I take I'm running out of luck

Good Lord get me home before the sun comes up

Pre-Chorus

And I keep pushing down that broken line

Chasing every moonlit sign

Chorus

Middle of nowhere is where I found my heart

Stuck in the gravel where the wild dogs bark

Every mile marker says I'm still too far

Middle of nowhere is where you are

Post-Chorus

Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah

Bridge

Four wheels rolling and a praying man

Rattling fences like I understand

That love ain't measured on a odometer

It's measured in the miles of missing her

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Middle of nowhere is where I found my heart

Stuck in the gravel where the wild dogs bark

Every mile marker says I'm still too far

Middle of nowhere is where you are

Post-Chorus

Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah

Chorus

Middle of nowhere is where I found my heart

Stuck in the gravel where the wild dogs bark

Every mile marker says I'm still too far

Middle of nowhere is where you are

Outro

Where you are

Where you are

Yeah where you are
