Have you ever felt like you’re stranded, emotionally or physically, somewhere in the middle of nowhere? That’s exactly what this song captures—a raw, almost palpable sense of isolation, yet there’s a deep beauty in it. “In The Middle of Nowhere” doesn’t just speak to being lost geographically, it taps into those moments where life seems to stand still, and we’re left to navigate our feelings without a roadmap. What’s remarkable about this song is the way it marries that sense of loneliness with an undercurrent of hope. It’s as if being in the middle of nowhere offers a moment of reflection, a pause to breathe before life resumes its chaotic pace.
The melody has a way of wrapping you up, making you feel like you’re sitting in the passenger seat of an old car, cruising through vast open spaces. The lyrics? They’re full of yearning, with a quiet strength that suggests maybe being “nowhere” is exactly where you need to be to find yourself. It’s a song for those reflective nights, where the stars seem a little too far away but you’re okay with it because, for now, you’re comfortable with the silence.
This song doesn’t just fill space—it connects. It’s for anyone who has ever felt like they’re in limbo, and yet, finds a certain peace in the uncertainty. That’s what makes “In The Middle of Nowhere” so unforgettable.

Lyrics
They had meant for me one last
Time to see my hometown again
Once again go there see the places
Where as a child I’ve been
As I journeyed now it was so
Far out it was almost in
In the middle in the middle of nowhere
Sadness talked with me as I walked
The streets of my memory
Streets that seemed somehow so much smaller
Now than they used to be
Talked of other days when this tiny
Place had been home to me
In the middle in the middle of nowhere
People stared at me in silence
As I walked around
Time had passed till I was
Just a stranger there
Folks had changed so much that no
One even knew me now
In the middle in the middle of nowhere
I went once again to the schoolyard
Where I used to play
Passed the church of mom and daddy
Where they used to pray
Down the dusty road to the churchyard
Where they both now lay
In the middle in the middle of nowhere
As I placed my blue forgetmenots
There on the ground one last time I knelt by
Mom and dad in prayer
Then I said goodbye forever
To that little town
In the middle in the middle of nowhere
