Capo: 1st Fret
Intro:     D    A/C#      Bm       G  D  
Well, I Dcome from the middle of nowhere 
BmBut I had big plans for getting outta there 
So when Gdreams came calling 
DI went chasing dGown that roadA  
And here I Dam strutting down these city streets 
BmA yellow brick road beneath my feet
Ohh, but Gsometimes in this Dskyline view 
GAll I see is Ame and you 
And Gcotton fields and Adusty dirt Droads 
DrGiving fast in my daAddy's truck and tBmaking it slow Bm/A  
With the Gsummer breeze D/F#tangling our Emhair
All those Gnights we spent mAoonlight taDlking 
HoldGing hands and bareAfoot walkBming Bm/A  
AnGd never letting D/F#go that was are pEmrayer 
D/F#Back when wGe could see forever
 AFrom the middle of nDowhereA/C#  
I Dain't been home in quite a while
BmBut thinking back I crack a smile
I bet ol' GEddy still racing his ChDevell
And GRicky's raising hellA  
And here I Dam sitting in an uptown bar
BmWith big wigs big money and big cigars
Oh, but Gwho's to say whDo's got it made
The oGne who left or thAose who stayed
Where eGverybody knows Aeverybody's Dname
Where the whole tGown shuts down for FAriday night foBmotball gamBm/Aes
Spend SGaturday ciD/F#rcling 'round the squEmare
Where your Gnext of kind lives Ajust down the rDoad
And chuGrch on Sunday mAorning seems to lBmighten up the lBm/Aoad
Yea, I leGft a lot beD/F#hind when I left tEmhereD/F#  
But my rGoots will live forever
 AIn the middle of nDowhere
Well BmI ride the wings of Amy dreams
GUntil I see them through
Then I woBmn't slow down till mAy hometown is coGming into view
'Cause Emmy baby's dream is D/F#winding up back Gthere
Where I'll settle down forever
 AIn the middle of nDowhereBm  
Someday my bGones will rest forever
 AIn the middle of nDowheA/C#reBm  G

Rhett Akins - Middle Of Nowhere

Capo: 1st Fret

D A/C# Bm G D

Intro:

Well, I come from the middle of nowhere

But I had big plans for getting outta there

So when dreams came calling

D G A

I went chasing down that road

And here I am strutting down these city streets

A yellow brick road beneath my feet

G D

Ohh, but sometimes in this skyline view

G A

All I see is me and you

G A D

And cotton fields and dusty dirt roads

G A Bm Bm/A

Driving fast in my daddy's truck and taking it slow

G D/F# Em

With the summer breeze tangling our hair

G A D

All those nights we spent moonlight talking

G A Bm Bm/A

Holding hands and barefoot walking

G D/F# Em

And never letting go that was are prayer

D/F# G

Back when we could see forever

A D A/C#

From the middle of nowhere

I ain't been home in quite a while

But thinking back I crack a smile

G D

I bet ol' Eddy still racing his Chevell

G A

And Ricky's raising hell

And here I am sitting in an uptown bar

With big wigs big money and big cigars

G D

Oh, but who's to say who's got it made

G A

The one who left or those who stayed

G A D

Where everybody knows everybody's name

G A Bm Bm/A

Where the whole town shuts down for Friday night football games

G D/F# Em

Spend Saturday circling 'round the square

G A D

Where your next of kind lives just down the road

G A Bm Bm/A

And church on Sunday morning seems to lighten up the load

G D/F# Em D/F#

Yea, I left a lot behind when I left there

But my roots will live forever

A D

In the middle of nowhere

Bm A

Well I ride the wings of my dreams

Until I see them through

Bm A G

Then I won't slow down till my hometown is coming into view

Em D/F# G

'Cause my baby's dream is winding up back there

Where I'll settle down forever

A D Bm

In the middle of nowhere

Someday my bones will rest forever

A D A/C# Bm G

In the middle of nowhere
