Middle Of Nowhere

Intro: D    A/C#  Bm    G     D

       D
Well, I come from the middle of nowhere
Bm
But I had big plans for getting outta there
        G
So when dreams came calling
D               G              A
I went chasing down that road
           D
And here I am strutting down these city streets
Bm
A yellow brick road beneath my feet
         G                 D
Ohh, but sometimes in this skyline view
G            A
All I see is me and you


    G                 A          D
And cotton fields and dusty dirt roads
  G                  A                Bm            Bm/A
Driving fast in my daddy's truck and taking it slow
         G             D/F#         Em
With the summer breeze tangling our hair
         G                 A          D
All those nights we spent moonlight talking
    G                 A        Bm   Bm/A
Holding hands and barefoot walking
  G               D/F#             Em
And never letting go that was are prayer
D/F#       G
Back when we could see forever
A                    D     A/C#
 From the middle of nowhere


  D
I ain't been home in quite a while
Bm
But thinking back I crack a smile
          G                       D
I bet ol' Eddy still racing his Chevell
    G                   A
And Ricky's raising hell
           D
And here I am sitting in an uptown bar
Bm
With big wigs big money and big cigars
        G              D
Oh, but who's to say who's got it made
     G                A
The one who left or those who stayed


       G              A           D
Where everybody knows everybody's name
                 G                   A             Bm        Bm/A
Where the whole town shuts down for Friday night football games
       G         D/F#                 Em
Spend Saturday circling 'round the square
           G                  A              D
Where your next of kind lives just down the road
       G              A                Bm             Bm/A
And church on Sunday morning seems to lighten up the load
         G          D/F#              Em   D/F#
Yea, I left a lot behind when I left there
        G
But my roots will live forever
A                  D
 In the middle of nowhere


     Bm                 A
Well I ride the wings of my dreams
G
Until I see them through
         Bm                  A               G
Then I won't slow down till my hometown is coming into view
       Em                D/F#             G
'Cause my baby's dream is winding up back there

Where I'll settle down forever
A                  D       Bm
 In the middle of nowhere
            G
Someday my bones will rest forever
A                  D   A/C#   Bm   G
 In the middle of nowhere
