In The Middle

Rodney Atkins - In The Middle
Old gray fence
Tarchip road
Martin's creek
Almost home
Whitetail buck
By a one lane bridge
Around the bend
Up on the ridge
There's Thompson's barn leaning just a little
Miss Myra's store
Smell the barbecue
Make you stop for gas
When you don't need to
At least 20 miles
To the nearest town
Hills and hollers all around
And that's me right there in the middle
In the middle of what matters most
Father's son's and the holy ghost
Open hearts and unlocked doors
A way of life worth dying (fighting) for
If you wonderin' where I'll be
Take out a map of Tennessee
And you'll find me than right there in the middle
Rick of wood
Stacked by the porch
Black lab pup
Scratching at the door
Two little boys
Sayin' daddy's back
Next thing I know
It's a wrestling match
And that's me yeah that's me
In the middle of what matters most
Father's son's and the holy ghost
Open hearts and unlocked doors
A way of life worth dying (fighting) for
If you wonderin' where I'll be
Take out a map of Tennessee
And you'll find me than right there in the middle
In middle of nowhere, no where I'd rather be
The good lord up above
And his earth beneath my feet
In the middle of what matters most
Father's son's and the holy ghost
Open hearts and unlocked doors
A way of life worth dying (fighting) for
If you wonderin' where I'll be
Take out a map of Tennessee
And you'll find me than right there in the middle
