Out Here In the Middle |
| They broke into your car last night, took the stereo |
| Now you say you don’t know why you even live there anymore |
| The garage man didn’t see a thing, so you guess it was an inside job |
| You made a reservation, a table for three |
| They said you’d have to wait: somebody must’ve bribed the maitre’d |
| The boss got mad and he blamed it all on you |
| The food was bad and the deal fell through |
| Well out here in the middle you can park it on the street |
| You step up to the counter, you nearly always get a seat |
| Nobody steals, nobody cheats |
| Wish you were here my love |
| Wish you were here my love |
| We got tractor pulls and Red Man chew |
| Corporate relo refugees that need love too |
| And we ain’t seen Elvis in a year or two |
| We got justification for wealth and greed |
| Amber waves of grain and bathtub speed |
| Now we even got Starbucks |
| What else you need? |
| Out here in the middle where the center’s on the right |
| And the ghost of William Jennings Bryan preaches every night |
| To save the lonely souls in the dashboard lights |
| Wish you were here my love |
| Wish you were here my love |
| Out here in the middle where the buffalo roam |
| We’re putting up towers for your cell phones |
| And we screen all applicants with a fine tooth comb |
| Wish you were here my love |
| Wish you were here my love |
