Meet You in the Middle - Parker McCollum

It was seven-hundred fenceposts From your place to ours Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car Sometimes it was raining Sometimes it would shine And we wore out that gravel road Between your house and mine I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little Ain't no road too long When we meet in the middle It's been seven years tomorrow Since we said our vows Under that old pine tree You ought to see it now Standing in the back yard Reminding me and you That if we don't see eye to eye There's something we can do I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little Ain't no road too long When we meet in the middle Babe, I love the way we work it out And that's what love is all about I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little Ain't no road too long When we meet in the middle (Ooh-ooh-oh) I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pi-i-ine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little Ain't no road too long When we meet in the middle (In the middle) I'd start walking your way (your way) You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle (in the middle) 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both gave a little (gave a little) Ain't no road too long When we meet in the middle (in the middle)

I am your true shepherd I will lead you there Beside still waters Come and meet me in the middle of the air I will meet you in the middle of the air I will lay you down In pastures green and fair Every soul shall be restored I will meet them in the middle of the air Come and meet me in the middle of the air Through the lonesome valley My rod and staff you'll bear Fear not death's dark shadow Come and meet me in the middle of the air I will meet you in the middle of the air With oil I shall anoint you A table shall I prepare Your cup will runneth over Come and meet me in the middle of the air I will meet you in the middle of the air In my house you'll dwell forever You shall not want for care Surely goodness and mercy will follow you Come and meet me in the middle of the air I will meet you in the middle of the air

I came in going at a hundred miles an hour Just a kid outta Conroe looking for something a little bit louder Learning it gets blurry, in a hurry on the edge I spent damn near 15 years out on the highway pushing red Hammer down, never sticking around, head harder than a tree Foot on the gas, never looking back and always ready to leave I remember shaking my head when my old man told me "Boy, one of these days, you won't always be hung up on speed" She came in slow and easy, falling like a feather Her blue eyes felt like an old handwritten letter I learned the hard way she was right about taking her time So, I just pretend that wherever she is, it's at the end of the line Hammer down, never sticking around, head harder than a tree Foot on the gas, never looking back and always ready to leave I remember shaking my head when that girl was telling me "Boy, one of these days, you won't always be hung up on speed" Hammer down, never sticking around, head harder than a tree Foot on the gas, never looking back and always ready to leave I remember shaking my head when my old man told me "Boy, one of these days, you won't always be hung up on speed" "Boy, one of these days, you won't always be hung up on speed"

Late night train back to Austin Couple cars, cocaine, and the interstate Most every night, this is what it's like You don't answer, I keep callin' just to stay awake Hope what you said wasn't meant for me You told me I was no good It's alright babe, I'm pretty used to being misunderstood I never pegged you for what you are Had it in my head I would break your heart Hate to think about what I did Some things in me are broke, I can't find a fix Hope what you said wasn't meant for me You told me I was no good It's alright babe, I'm pretty used to being misunderstood It's alright babe, I'm pretty used to being misunderstood Go home and sleep 'til I leave again That's why I gave you up, couldn't watch you cry You said you'd wait on me patiently But I'll live out of a bag 'til the day I die I guess I get how you think of me You told me I was no good It's alright babe, I'm pretty used to being misunderstood It's alright babe, I'm pretty used to being misunderstood It's alright babe, I'm pretty used to being misunderstood

How 'bout another tequila Out by the motel pool I won't steal your heart tonight But you can beat mine black and blue When I hear that highway I know it won't be long 'Til a goodbye kiss on a night like this Turns into a goodbye song Well, I'm a wheel, I keep on rollin' I just go from town to town Once that gravel gets to throwin' Good luck slowin' me down Well, I've been high, and I've been lonely I've been lost and I've been found Baby, you're the only thing that's ever turned me 'round I'm a wheel, I just keep rollin' Girl, you better be looking Becomin' out of the night Been runnin' 15 straight damn days And every mile you're on my mind Well, I'm a wheel, I keep on rollin' I just go from town to town Once that gravel gets to throwin' Good luck slowin' me down Well, I've been high, and I've been lonely I've been lost and I've been found Baby, you're the only thing that's ever turned me 'round I'm a wheel, I just keep rollin' Drop you off, drop a gear Then it's all downhill from here Yeah, it's all downhill from here And I'm a wheel, I keep on rollin' I just go from town to town Once that gravel gets to throwin' Good luck slowin' me down Well, I've been high, and I've been lonely I've been lost and I've been found Baby, you're the only thing that's ever turned me 'round I'm a wheel, I just keep rollin' I'm a wheel

Sorry baby, I've been drinkin' I tend to ramble when I do Sorry baby, I've been drinkin' Got the life I wanted, and he got you But if he ever leaves you lonely Don't go find nobody else If there's a chance that you still want me You know damn well I need some help I'm tired of drinkin' I'm tired of drinkin' by myself Do you miss me when you're drinkin' And would you tell me if you did? If you don't miss me when you're drinkin' I guess that means that you love him But if he ever leaves you lonely Don't go find nobody else If there's a chance that you still want me You know damn well I need some help I'm tired of drinkin' Tired of drinkin' by myself If there's a chance that you still want me You know damn well I need some help I'm tired of drinkin' So tired of drinkin' I'm tired of drinkin' by myself I'm tired of drinkin' by myself
