out here in the middle
Singer:james mcmurtry
they broke into your car last night
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
they said you'd have to wait
somebody must have bribed the maitre'd
the boss got mad and he blamed it all on you
food was bad and the deal fell through. well
you can park it on the street
you step up to the counter
you nearly always get a seat
my love. we got tractor pulls and red man chew
corporate relo refugees that need love too
we ain't seen elvis in a year or two. we got justification for wealth and greed
amber waves of grain and bathtub speed
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
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
