Stories From the Middle of Nowhere Lyrics
(Interdonato / MacDaniels)
well yea yea we stole the money but its already gone
cause she left me last night and she took it all
so i’m hiding with my brothers at the back of the bar
then its one more night sleeping in my car
because I’m running from Johnny Law
been a long time running from the deputy
come on take me down to the penitentiary
going down down town
they’re getting closer now
and when I wake up alone
haunted by my dreams
locked up in a cage
wishing I was free
i know i’m out of time
sittin at the bar with my 45
i been running and running and running away
been running and running every damn day
now the 5-0 on the beat and I can feel him comin
got a pistol on his side cause he’s a son of a gun
got me wanted with my picture up in every town
and another law man wanna bring me down
and the road and the road it goes on and on
but she broke my heart and now i’m sick of this song
and i broke the law but it ain’t bout right or wrong
Johnny’s in it for the money but the moneys all gone
got me incarcerated
haunted by my dreams
locked up in a cage
wishing i was free
i know i’m out of time
sitting at the bar with my 45
been running and running and running away
been running and running every damn day
Big City Song
(Interdonato / MacDaniels)
well i’m not trying to put down the big city
all of them lights and cars there’s so damn many
and its overwhelming
the soul that I’m selling
the time is always wearing thin
tomorrows never gonna be the same again
i don’t wanna go
the times ain’t really a-changing
we’re just getting older and praying for new beginnings
don’t wanna say goodbye or leave the past behind
don’t wanna miss my friends
don’t wanna see the end
i got no plans to climb the buildings in the sky
i got no time anymore
tomorrow’s time to go our separate ways
big city bound to work and get paid
but tonight i know that we don’t have to say
what you and i both know anyway
i don’t wanna go
the times ain’t really changing
we’re just getting older and praying for new beginnings
A Simple Vision
(Interdonato / MacDaniels)
been waiting all night
out in the back yard
with my head up in the sky
take me away
to outer space
to a simple place
that no one knows
its been a long long time
so long think i lost my mind.
there’s a simple vision
when the moon shines like the sun
take me away
to outer space
to a simple place
that no one knows
been a long long time
so long think i lost my mind
Amanda Lynn
(Interdonato / MacDaniels)
it was late last night
i could barely stand up right
and i couldn’t remember her name
she told me twice
yea she told me two times
but it just wouldn’t stay in my brain
goddamn woman what is your name?
good goddamn woman what is your name?
i was smoking a cigarette
that’s when she looked in to my face
she told me again and i just nod my head
but that name of hers it just wouldn’t stay
goddamn i love you baby
but i don’t even know your name
i might just remember in the morning time
but i'm not gonna promise anything
goddamn woman what is your name?
good goddamn woman what is your name?
standing on the corner with an empty beer
theres a big man yelling get the hell outta here
you gotta stumble home stumble home
walking down the curb and she got my arm
come on take me home please it ain’t that far
gotta stumble home stumble home
whose got my lighter cause I can’t find mine?
looking in my face talking bout the time.
baby I don’t know I don’t know
standing on the corner with an empty beer
theres a big man yelling get the hell outta here
gotta stumble home stumble home
Pinky’s Woman
(Interdonato / MacDaniels)

But this life i live oh its gonna kill me
oh baby baby why don’t you take a risk

and then live off the land

won’t you take my hand?
Saturday Night Zombie
(Interdonato / MacDaniels)
monsters come around at night
scaring little children while they’re sleeping
they’re wallowing in delight
they’ll crash your party on a saturday night
they spread the fever
yea they spread the fever
with just one bite
they’re gonna put the fever
back in saturday night
theres a crowd of zombies on my lawn
well they all move the same and dance to the same song
they’re multiplying
tearing at my walls
they want me with their fever
want me to join them all
but I don’t wanna be a part of no cult
they spread the fever
yea they spread the fever
with just one bite
they gonna put the fever back in saturday night

Graham County Courthouse
(MacDaniels)
lining up on the curb today
with all the bums outside the courthouse
and they seem to love this place
so full inside this poor old room
graffiti carved all over these wooden chapel pews
god knows it true
misdemeanors and citations
keep the money rollin in
turn em loose bring em back again
gotta get the docket full by 9 AM
ain’t it just such a shame
when you’re nothing but a number with a name?
ain’t it just such a shame
when you’re nothing but a case with fines to pay?
cause its just another day
for the judge and the DA
while i’m sitting with the losers
the bums and all the boozers
waiting for my verdict down at Graham
just sitting down
i gotta wait all day
cause if you ain’t pleading guilty
they still try to make you pay
well your honor i’m not sure but i don’t really understand
just how you’re solving any problems with that mallet
you got in your hands
there’s got to got to be a better plan
cause this ain’t working
cause its just another day for the judge and the DA
while i'm sitting with the losers the bums and all the users
and we all go down to Graham
In the Middle
(MacDaniels)
take me to the middle
the middle of nowhere
its where i wanna go
the middle of nowhere
big city and a small town there ain’t no difference
when all they got to offer is just more of the same old system
and everywhere on the highway it all looks the same
feel like i’m goin crazy in the big machine
sometimes you think you know it all
sometimes you don’t know anything
but i wanna know i want to know
whys it gotta be this way
and i wanna go i want to go
to how it was in the first place
so believe me when i tell you
to the barrel of your gun
you can put me back in to the ground
i’m not afraid of where I’m from
don’t you want something pretty in the picture?
don’t you take from it what you need?
don’t you care about what you see?
so move on if you're old and you're not gonna grow
shoot the messengers if they just want a show
move on if you're old and you're not gonna grow
and all the greedy people at the top of the world
just try to get higher but they don’t know
all the greedy people at the top of the world
chase the light like a mosquito
thinking they don’t know that they need the ground
they don’t know that they need the sky
they don’t know that they need the world
and that is why
they call it the middle
the middle of nowhere
