So you´re a Sophomore stuck in a slump
Car´s in the drive but your heart´s packed up
Feel like the next couple years are gonna drag on by
So you´re a dreamer chasing the stars

Where you wanna wind up sure ain´t where you are
Praying the dues that you´re paying are worth the price
Hard to tell how far you are from the start and the finish line

In the middle of the road when the smoke ain´t clear
Don´t know how to look at that half glass beer
Got ya leaning on the Lord while ya under your breath just a cussing
Oh, but one of these days you´re gonna miss these days
When you didn´t even know you were on your way
Knee deep in the weeds, you can only see just a little of it
Smack dab in the middle of it

You were heartbroke that boy did ya wrong
Your pride took a hit but you wrote a hit song
Traded the pictures for records on your wall
And girl I bet you didn´t see that coming at all

In the middle of the road when the smoke ain´t clear
Don´t know how to look at that half glass beer
Got ya leaning on the Lord while ya under your breath just a cussing
Oh, but one of these days you´re gonna miss these days
When you didn´t even know you were on your way
Knee deep in the weeds, you can only see just a little of it
Smack dab in the middle of it

Oh when push comes to shove, yeah, you gotta push through

You´ll be glad that you did when you do

In the middle of the road when the smoke ain´t clear
Don´t know how to look at that half glass beer
Got ya leaning on the Lord while ya under your breath just a cussing
Oh, but one of these days you´re gonna miss these days
When you didn´t even know you were on your way
Knee deep in the weeds, you can only see just a little of it
Smack dab in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
And that´s the beauty of it
In the middle of it
In the middle of it
