LYRICS
Couldn't ever dawned on me
All the things that I would be I
I never really looked out quite that far
It's never been a simple thing
To see the world with a young man's brain
With an old man's heart, restless soul
Yeah, my family went broke my 18 year
Dad took a job many miles from here that
That was alright by me I was on my own
I had a band, found a job, life was alright
I worked when I had to we played all the time
Only, got through that first year of college alright
But I learned more on the freight docks
Driving forklifts on the 3 o'clock a.m. shift
In the winter time, man it got cold
Selling guitars on the west coast goin' hungry
Chasin' ghost around and around we would go
And I saw it all tending bar at night
Treatin' saints and sinners right
It's a good thing to do all the time
You never know who you're talkin' to
But always know who's watching you
Keep your feet movin' straight down the line
I've known a lot of real good men
Grad school or no school
I've called 'em my friends, I'm
I'm somewhere in the middle and that's just fine
No, I don't give a damn how much money you make
If your last shirt has pockets, take all you can take, I'm
Well, I'm goin' out with nothin' like I came in
'Cause I learned more on the freight docks
Driving forklifts on the 3 o'clock a.m. shift
In the winter time man it got cold
Selling guitars on the west coast goin' hungry
Chasin' ghost around and around we would go
And I saw it all tending bar at night
Treatin' saints and sinners right
It's a good thing to do all the time
You never know who you're talkin' to
But always know who's watching you
Keep your feet movin' straight down the line
But I learned more on the freight docks
Driving forklifts on the 3 o'clock a.m. shift
In the winter time man it got cold
Selling guitars on the west coast goin' hungry
Chasin' ghost around and around we would go
And I saw it all tending bar at night
Treatin' saints and sinners right
It's a good thing to do all the time
You never know who you're talkin' to
But always know who's watching you
Keep your feet movin' straight down the line
Yeah, somewhere in the middle is just fine
Yeah, somewhere in the middle is just fine

[kevin_]

There's more country in his guitar pick than in all of today's CMT awards.

[MikeKacergis]

This is one of, if not, the best songs ever written.

It sure is my #1

[iceberg]

This is true country! Why he and his band aren't more popular is beyond me!

[robertwalker]

Every once in awhile we get to see greatness. Pure and raw.

[jasontalley]

Hands down one of the absolutely best artists playing today

[keepontruckinoutlawlife]

CODY JINKS SAVED MY LIFE HIS SONGS SAVED ME FROM A METH ADDICTION THANK YOU CODY JINKS LOVE THE 2 YEARS CLEAN NOW.

[mulletmanfishinnhuntin]

His music along with Tyler Childers and a select few. Are the best country that’s produced these days. I wish there was more singers like them

[brendaharlen]

This song reminded my husband of my Dad living somewhere in the middle always saying whatever we did for him was perfect because he wasn't expecting the president to visit! My husband and our 24 year old son had a conversation about this song and he (grandson ) told him that is him also he just wanted to live somewhere in the middle. He was killed by a drunk driver on May 31, 2023 so he was never given the opportunity to just live somewhere in the middle. We played this song at his memorial service because it meant so much to him.❤
Keep on singing your songs Cody and bringing meaning to others with your music.

Work a freight dock in Charlotte, NC on the 3am shift for 33 years, and it does get cold in the winter time, thanks for the song!

[LetYourLightShiiine]

[mdwightj]

Country music is not dead, you just have to know where to find it. :-)

[simpsonlane]

Holy shit! I haven't heard anything like this in decades. Beautiful piece. Marysville CA loves this one. We love all of yall who can feel this! This is real country... Brought tears to my eyes. Breath of fresh air. Much love to all of those in the struggle. There will be a brighter day.

[graciecarter]

[mr.potter]

That's probably the best harmonies I've ever heard live. That bass player can sing them perfectly.
