Meet You in the Middle

Here that whistle wind and holler Waking you up in the night All the way from California Casanova has arrived Headline on the morning paper You read it by the road Waving goodbye to your neighbor Where the hell you supposed to go Guess I'll meet you in the middle Well, ain't nobody told me it'd be this hard Guess I'll meet you in the middle Lord only knows if I'll make it that far Well, you told me that you loved me Then you headed way out west Chasing dreams that you'd been dreaming Loving boys you'd never met And I'm still stuck here In the city so much left I have to learn Grandpa's shaking off his cancer Just in case you hadn't heard Guess I'll meet you in the middle Well, ain't nobody told me it'd be this hard Guess I'll meet you in the middle Lord only knows if I'll make it that far I can hear the whole town whisper Barely making out your name Said you got some fancy hair due My momma's gone insane Daddy left no goodbye letter With no pistol on his grave In the backyard on the blacktop Where he left them good old days Guess I'll meet you in the middle Well, ain't nobody told me it'd be this hard Guess I'll meet you in the middle Lord only knows if I'll make it that far If I'll make it that far
