Meet You In The Middle

by Parker McCollum

on The Limestone Kid (2015)

Hear that whistle whine and holler
Wakin' you up in the night
All the way from California
Casanova has arrived

Headline on the mornin' paper
You're headed by the road
Wavin' goodbye to your neighbor
Where the hell you s'posed to go?

Guess I'll meet you in the middle
Ain't nobody told me it'd be this hard
Guess I'll meet you in the middle
Lord only knows if I'll make it that far

Well you told me that you love me
Then you headed way out west
Chasin' dreams that you'd been dreamin'
Lovin' boys you'd never met

I'm still stuck here in the city
So much left I haven't learned
Grandpa's shakin' off his cancer
Just in case you hadn't heard

Guess I'll meet you in the middle
Ain't nobody told me it'd be this hard
Guess I'll meet you in the middle
Lord only knows if I'll make it that far

I can hear the whole town whisper
Barely makin' out your name
Said you got some fancy hairdoo
My momma's gone insane

Daddy left no goodbye letter
With no pistol on his grave
In the backyard on the blacktop
Where he left them good old days

Guess I'll meet you in the middle
Ain't nobody told me it'd be this hard
Guess I'll meet you in the middle
Lord only knows if I'll make it that far
If I'll make it that far
