[Verse 1]

Hear that whistle wind and holler

Waking you up in the night

All the way from California

Casanova has arrived

Headlined on the morning paper

You read it by the road

Waving goodbye to your neighbor

Where the hell you supposed to go?

[Chorus]

Guess I'll meet you in the middle

Well ain't nobody told me it'd be this hard

Guess I'll meet you in the middle

Lord only knows if I'll make it that far

[Verse 2]

Well, you told me that you loved me

Then you headed way out west

Chasing dreams that you'd been dreaming

Loving boys you'd never met

I'm still stuck here in the city

So much left I have to learn

Grandpa's shaking off his cancer

Just in case you hadn't heard

[Chorus]

Guess I'll meet you in the middle

Well ain't nobody told me it'd be this hard

Guess I'll meet you in the middle

Lord only knows if I'll make it that far

[Verse 3]

Well, I can hear the whole town whisper

Barely making out your name

Said you got some fancy hair due

My momma's gone insane

Daddy left no goodbye letter

With no pistol on his grave

In the backyard on the blacktop

Where he left them good old days

[Chorus]

Guess I'll meet you in the middle

Well ain't nobody told me it'd be this hard

Guess I'll meet you in the middle

Lord only knows if I'll make it that far

If I'll make it that far
