"The Middle" lyrics - KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD

I used to watch the evening news
And all I saw was reds and blues
And we both know it all comes down to green
Standing on the edge of town
The sun ain't coming up or down
And we're all stuck here somewhere in between

Oh oh oh
Out here in the middle
Oh oh oh
Familiar ground I fear
Oh oh oh
Love ain't such a riddle
If we can't give a little
Then we can't get there
Can't get there from here

Working hard and paying dues
But in the end you have to choose
You lead you follow or get left behind
Sometimes I can't sleep at night
The markets down and money's tight
How much do you pay for peace of mind

Oh oh oh
Out here in the middle
Oh oh oh
Familiar ground I fear
Oh oh oh
Love ain't such a riddle
If we can't give a little
Then we can't get there
Can't get there from here

We all live in a world that's so demanding
All we want is love and understanding

Oh oh oh
Out here in the middle
Oh oh oh
Familiar ground I fear
Oh oh oh
Love ain't such a riddle
If we can't give a little
Then we can't get there
Can't get there from here
