lyrics

Boxes stacked beside the door
In the morning, they won’t be there no more
‘Cause when I hear that rooster crow
Is about the time I’ll have to go

Raced out the backwoods, no tears cried
I threw an old Coke bottle at the state line sign
Didn’t turn around to say goodbye
‘Cause I’m gonna try the city on for size

The country was a suit I couldn’t wear
And I ran all out of things to do down there
And if the lights in the city don’t hypnotize me
The place in the middle’s where I’ll be

A half a mile’s a half hour drive
I can hardly punch my card on time
I know I read that print real fine
But I wish I’d never signed that line

This yoke around my collar’s hard to bare
It’s a tie that binds my will to someone else
If the good Lord above could break me free
The place in the middle’s where I’d be
