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
