The Middle

Take a drive down 66
 Radio up and we can kick it
 I'm thinking it's about time that we found our happiness
 Over the Missouri line it's waiting in
 The middle of the country where the fields of gold lead me back home
 My precious moments etched into the canvases of limestone
 And the midwest rolls
 Through the sweltering heat and snow
 And life is moving slow in the middle
 Go outside and find a cardinal and let him sing his song to me
 I'll be humming right along to an introspective beat
 And it's about time that we finally get some rest
 The wilder glades and limestone caves are waiting in
 The middle of the country where the fields of gold lead me back home
 My precious moments etched into the canvases of limestone
 And the midwest rolls
 Through the sweltering heat and snow
 And life is moving slow in
 Home is where the great outdoors are my backyard
 There's room to run
 It's sitting around the fire telling stories
 Oh my God you look so lovely the grass below and the stars above
 I swear that I would go back if I could
 The middle of the country where the fields of gold lead me back home
 (lead me home)
 My precious moments etched into the canvases of limestone
 (where I'm from)
 And the midwest rolls
 Through the sweltering heat and snow (lead me home)
 And life is moving slow in the middle
