Water tower skylines and fields of gold
Homecoming crowns on average Joes
Plantin' family trees on the same gravel road
A whole lotta nothin' still somethin' to some folks
Girls paintin' faces, wearin' push up bras
Boys talkin' bases, ain't talkin' baseball
There's vodka in the lemonade we'll pass 'round the bleachers
Yeah, Mama blames the music comin' out the speakers
Whoa, a bunch of patchwork dreamers
Tryin' to hold onto life they know
A bunch of better believers
Never leavin' even when they go
They ain't left, they ain't right
They're just left right in the middle of America
State wants an airport, they're takin' the farms
Bread and butter's off the table
We're all up in arms
Wrapped around our mamas good book and cold beer
Lotta corn watching kids grow on up outta here
Whoa, a bunch of patchwork dreamers
Tryin' to hold onto life they know
A bunch of better believers
Never leavin' even when they go
They ain't left, they ain't right
They're just left right in the middle of America
Amazin' Gracin' somewhere 'tween it never does and someday maybe
Between goin' nowhere and goin' crazy
Raisin' hell and raisin' babies
In the middle of America
The middle of America
Whoa, a bunch of patchwork dreamers
Tryin' to hold onto life they know
A bunch of better believers
Never leavin' even when they go
They ain't left, they ain't right
They're just left right in the middle
Gettin' right with that they're left with
Right in the middle of America
The middle of America
The middle of America
Woo
