Middle Ground Lyrics

I kissed her goodbye
watched her roll of on those four bald tires
wiped a tear from my eye
just in time to see her daddy smile

Football star on a state champ team
I guess it don't really mean anything
once you hang your gear up in the locker for good

Ain't no middle ground
in this old money and white trash town
a kid like me will never kick any doors down
every Friday morning
I watch that Greyhound roll on
I'm just trying to find my way gone

Daddy joined the Army
he was only seventeen
came back here after four years in Germany
every night he drinks a beer
wonders why he came back here

I was voted most likely to do nothing at all
I look around and I don't see any walls
what would keep a young man here?
It's a mystery to me

Ain't no middle ground
in this old money and white trash town
a kid like me will never kick any doors down
every Friday morning
I watch that Greyhound roll on
I'm just trying to find my way gone

One fine morning that old dog will pull up
air brakes will squeak
up come the dust
door will swing open
I'll find my seat
and tear off the chains
that this towns got on me

Ain't no middle ground
in this old money and white trash town
since graduation I've been wondering
what the hell to do now
every Friday morning
I watch that Greyhound roll on
I'm just trying to find my way gone
