Pride, Charley - In The Middle Of Nowhere 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
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
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

Pride, Charley In The Middle Of Nowhere Comments
There is nothing like this song
charley has a brother stehpen can really sing ck out his cd !!
what a G reat song .. saw him franklin tenn . what a nice place . was so good a bucket list !
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 forget me nuts
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.....
What song next
...In the middle of nowhere...
All of Charley,s songs are great, a great singer

Ohh my God..He's absolutely brilliant ...Just Love him...

Charley
Nothing to compare....pure Gold.
Great singer-Nice song
Don't know if this was released as a 45rpm single, but if not, it sure should have been. His voice never sounded purer.
I think so too, the vocal pretty much makes this song! It was written by Liz Anderson, Lynn Anderson's mom of I Never Promised You Rose Garden fame.
OH OH!BEAUTIFUL.
One of my favourite songs
I grew up with my dad playing all these great songs,sure brings back lovely child hood memories ❤️ 💞 an I really appreciate him for playing his music,or I won't get to know what great music really is
👌🏽👌🏽❤️
Reminds me of my hometown in San Angelo, Texas. Every lyric fits except my parents are still young yet ;)
This AMAZING singer is from my home state not very far from me today! I was brought up on his music and every one hits some memory I have! Went to see him in concert one time... the best concert I ever went to! He makes me smile, laugh, cry, think and sing every word with him! Proud of this guy! A true country music singer ALWAYS has been!

This song makes me think about my home town,Fairmont,NC!
this is my song to my sisters and brother of Mattawa Ontario Canada
This is where I am right now
Really like this tune, and singer..........................................
I had these same emotions when I visited my home town in Northern Sri Lanka two years ago. His singing style is very much like that of the late Jim Reeves. Very earthy and sincere. In fact, I didn't know that they were friends back in the 50's-early 60's.

This song gives me the chills i even cover a few of his songs much love to you and all the great country music lovers...
Thanks, Fabian. Blessings.
Written by Liz Anderson, sung by Charley Pride. Marvellous !!!!
Both my parents are now dead. I am not sure my home will feel like home to me any more
Nancy Mathenge
Sigh.... I can only say take courage and embrace the precious memories of them. I lost daddy 4 years now, i cry because he was my best friend but i am reminded of the fact that this life is so short and all we have is right Now. Embrace it my friend bless you.
Fabian Pencel
Understand... you can see the house, but the "home" is gone. They say you can never go home again....
I went back home in May 2019 for my mother's ist memorial anniversary , no one seemed to even remember me now because all the people I knew when I was growing up are either gone to live in other areas and new people have . Most people just know the family
I love this great love song yes
