[Verse 1]
C
There's an old route two-lane
           C
Taking out past where the radio just can't
C
Pass a riverbed with a rope swing
          C
And a mailbox painted all John Deere green


[Pre-Chorus]
    F
The end of a bunch of gravel driveway
F
Out here doing our own thing


[Chorus]
C
Out in the middle where the hard work meets hard living
C
Out in the middle where we're grown 'til we're gone, God willing
          F
Just some good old boys and good old girls
        F
Hunting red dirt dreams in a concrete world
        G            F       C
Getting by on just a little, out in the middle


[Verse 2]
     C
Come Friday, we come undone
          C
Stay half lit like a High Life neon
               C
Barely hanging on like shelving a pole bar
        C
You can hear Hank clear 'cross the next farm


[Pre-Chorus]
F
City folks say we're crazy
    F
But they ain't never been way


[Chorus]
C
Out in the middle where the hard work meets hard living
C
Out in the middle where we're grown 'til we're gone, God willing
          F
Just some good old boys and good old girls
        F
Hunting red dirt dreams in a concrete world
        G            F        C  Bb  F
Getting by on just a little


[Bridge]
                     C                     G7
Out in the middle of nowhere, that's where I wanna be
        Ab
And the old oak shade by the family graves
         G                        C
With the Southern ground all day


[Chorus]
C
Out in the middle where the hard work meets hard living
C
Out in the middle where we're grown 'til we're gone, God willing
          F
Just some good old boys and good old girls
        F
Hunting red dirt dreams in a concrete world
        G            F       C   Bb  F        N.C.
Getting by on just a little, out       in the middle
