In The Middle Of Nowhere Lyrics - Country Charley Pride/pride Of Country Music - Charley Pride

They had meant for me one last time to see my hometown again 

Once again go there see the places where as a child I've been 

As I journeyed now it was so far out it was almost in 

In the middle in the middle of nowhere 

Sadness talked with me as I walked the streets of my memory 

Streets that seemed somehow so much smaller now than they used to be 

Talked of other days when this tiny place had been home to me 

In the middle in the middle of nowhere 

People stared at me in silence as I walked around 

Time had passed till I was just a stranger there 

Folks had changed so much that no one even knew me now 

In the middle in the middle of nowhere 

I went once again to the schoolyard where I used to play 

Passed the church of mom and daddy where they used to pray 

Down the dusty road to the churchyard where they both now lay 

In the middle in the middle of nowhere 

As I placed my blue forgetmenots there on the ground 

One last time I knelt by mom and dad in prayer 

Then I said goodbye forever to that little town in the middle in the middle of nowhere
