Mid America
Never seen a dawn
he didn't say to himself perhaps
three months in Mid-America
time just overlaps
and the line cooks get toasted
as they serve up the night's meals
three months in Mid-America
sure to serve up its ordeals
and maybe you're too old
maybe you're dead
three months in Mid-America
aint ever left your head
and maybe 'cause you're young
it came as a surprise
three months in Mid-America
sure to open up your eyes
And you don't need to explain
you don't need to find a way
you know Mid-America's
a place where people stay
where twenty years is worth something
