Backstory:

I went to a rodeo in a small town in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and then shortly after went and saw a local country band playing in a VFW in another small town. The hook, Middle of Somewhere, came to me and that's what we wrote about.

Lyrics:

                                                  
Middle of Somewhere
John Cirillo (ASCAP)/Sarah Spencer (ASCAP)


Way out here in the middle of somewhere
Nothing but static on the radio
We got a local AM station
And Miss Loretta on the stereo
Oh, We ain’t missing nothing

Saturday night at the VFW
Do some dancing to a country band
They’ll play every song by Alabama
A little out of tune, but man
There ain’t nothing better than

Chorus:
Living in the middle of somewhere
Off the land and under God
Don’t need a thing that we ain’t got 
Right here in the middle of somewhere
On your map we’re just a dot
But we don’t pretend to be who we’re not
Ah, the good ol’ days are alive and well,
Living free and clear out here, 
In the middle of somewhere


I went to school with the rodeo queen
Man, that girl could really ride
She joined the army and saved the world
Now there’s ribbons round every streetlight
She’s coming home tonight

[chorus]

	Bridge:
Been to the city and I came right back
They got nothing I need,
Everything I want and everything I have
Is right here under my feet.
