Stuck in the Middle of America Again

from Road Songs by Nick Swan

/

lyrics

Out of southern Illinois
Came a long haired country boy
Lookin for a new life out on the interstate
I didn't care where I was goin
Or how long my hair kept goin
I just put my soul at the mercy of a long highway

Sometimes I get sad and I don't know why
Maybe it's the color of the evenin sky
Or the way my shadow leans against the wind
Sometimes I get lost and I can't get found
Maybe it's becasue I'm sorrow-bound
Or I'm stuck here in the middle of America again

There ain't much in Missouri
For a boy like me to do
But just look at the sky and have another dream or two
Well I wanted more than that
So I left and I ain't been back
Now it's just some place that I once passed through

Sometimes I get sad and I don't know why
Maybe it's the color of the evenin sky
Or the way my shadow leans against the wind
Sometimes I get lost and I can't get found
Maybe it's becasue I'm sorrow-bound
Or I'm stuck here in the middle of America again

Solo

There's nights when my guitar sounds just like fire
And there's nights I'm left alone with my desire

Sometimes I get sad and I don't know why
Maybe it's the color of the evenin sky
Or the way my shadow leans against the wind
Sometimes I get lost and I can't get found
Maybe it's becasue I'm sorrow-bound
Or I'm stuck here in the middle of America again
