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 pa**ed 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 Pa**ed 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
