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
|
