McMurtry, James - Out Here In The Middle Lyrics

They broke into your car last night,
took the stereo
Now you say you don't know why
you even live there anymore
The garage man didn't see a thing,
so you guess it was an inside job
You made a reservation, a table for three
They said you'd have to wait,
somebody must have bribed the maitre'd
Boss got mad and he blamed it all on you
Food was bad and the deal fell through
Well out here in the middle
you can park it on the street
Step up to the counter;
you nearly always get a seat
Nobody steals. Nobody cheats
Wish you were here my love
Wish you here my love
We got tractor pulls and Red Man chew Corporate relo refugees that need love too
we ain't seen Elvis in a year or two
we got justification for wealth and greed
Amber waves of grain and bathtub speed
We even got Starbucks
what else you need?
Out here in the middle
Where the center's on the right
And the ghost of William Jennings Bryan preaches every night
To save the lonely souls
in the dashboard lights
Wish you were here my love
Wish you were here my love
Out here in the middle
Where the buffalo roam
We're putting up towers for your cell phones
And we screen all applicants
With a fine tooth comb
Wish you were here my love
Wish you were here my love

The Man Hits You right in the gut with every plucked string ...every excruciatingly beautiful note...

Johnnytx yea!!!

A song for Trump voters

Paul Throckmorton what kinda sad lil man has to attack someone during a song. You are one pathetic mfr

You're a moron!

This was played long before Trump was ever in the picture. Damn we can go back as much as 500 years now and can hammer people on stuff that went on back then

@James Campbell So, we can go back 500 years; but, we don't have to. We can go back just 2 years. It is what it is, we don't have to hammer anyone. We can just live our lives as they won't. It's a good song; Let us all be better by it.

Paul Throckmorton I live in the middle and I didn't vote for Trump. Care to talk about things or are you just a little shit talking troll?

Out here in the middle where the buffalo roam, we're putting up towers for your cell phones. HA

Love this song. It rings true!

I found that out already, but thank you.

McMurtry

Is there a studio version done by McMurtry?

I've heard Robert Earl Keen sing this song. I wonder if this song was written originally by Keen or McMurtry.

It's Jim McMurtry's song.

James McMurtry wrote this the song "Out Here In The Middle"

Seriously good stuff.

from choctaw bingo to rachel's song to damn near everything he's written. "songs that made a difference"
