Sometimes, life feels like it takes us to places far from the hustle, the noise, and the rush of the world. “In The Middle of Nowhere” captures that sense of isolation, but not in a lonely way—more like a space where reflection and simplicity become gifts. It’s a song that paints the picture of being lost but finding peace in it, as if being in the middle of nowhere gives you the clarity you didn’t know you needed.
What makes this song so special is the rawness it brings. It’s a gentle reminder that even when we feel disconnected, there’s beauty in stillness. The lyrics pull you in, like a conversation with an old friend reminiscing about quiet places that hold profound meaning. Musically, it’s simple yet captivating, letting the emotion of the words lead the melody without overwhelming you.
The song resonates deeply with anyone who has ever felt like they’ve stepped away from the world for a moment, only to realize that stepping away is exactly what they needed to reconnect with themselves. It’s not just about being physically in the middle of nowhere—it’s about finding that place within, where things slow down, and clarity shines.

Lyrics
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
