In The Middle

Old gray fence, tarchip road
 martin's creek, I'm 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
