So you're a Sophomore stuck in a slump Cars in the drive but your hearts 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 heart-broke, 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
