Charley Pride - In the middle of nowhere

They had ^Emeant for me one last ^Atime to see my ^Ehometown again Once a^B7gain go there see the places where as a ^Echild I've been As I journeyed now it was ^Aso far out it was ^Ealmost in ^AIn the ^Emiddle in the ^B7middle of no^Ewhere

Sadness talked with me as I ^Awalked the streets of ^Emy memory Streets that ^B7seemed somehow so much smaller now than they ^Eused to be Talked of other days when this ^Atiny place had been ^Ehome to me ^AIn the ^Emiddle in the ^B7middle of no^Ewhere

People stared at me in silence as I ^Awalked around Time had ^Epassed till I was just a stranger ^B7there Folks had ^Echanged so much that ^E7no one even ^Aknew me now In the ^Emiddle in the ^B7middle of no^Ewhere

I went once again to the ^Aschoolyard where I ^Eused to play Passed the ^B7church of mom and daddy where they ^Eused to pray Down the dusty road to the ^Achurchyard where they ^Eboth now lay ^AIn the ^Emiddle in the ^B7middle of no^Ewhere

As I placed my blue forget-me-nots there ^Aon the ground One last ^Etime I knelt by mom and dad in ^B7prayer Then I ^Esaid goodbye forever to that ^Alittle town In the ^Emiddle in the ^B7middle of no^Awhere ^E
