Lyrics by Ron E. Walls / Music and Vocals by James E. Cain
Smack Dab In The Middle
Drinkin from a bottle of Johnnie Walker black
Wonderin if that woman of mine is ever comin back
Last week she told me honey I need the truck today
Then she backed it up to our double wide and hauled my stuff away
She took my large mouth bass and the big buck off the wall
My shotgun and four wheelers gone she even took my old coon dog
This seems real familiar like I’ve heard it in a song
The kind they play in those country bars when everythings gone wrong
Now I’m smack dab in the middle of a heartbreak country song
My love life’s out of tune and the melody’s all wrong
I don’t know how I got here and I hope I don’t stay long
It sure ain’t much fun being stuck here in this song
This song is gettin better and I’m startin to like the tune
I hope she stays away awhile and doesn’t come home soon
I’ve taken down her honey do lists and threw them on the floor
To make it out of my lazyboy now that’s become a chore
I went to Best Buys and bought a big wide screen TV
And after four years of payments that baby’ll belong to me
Now I’m smack dab in the middle of a heartbreak country song
My love life’s out of tune and the melody’s all wrong
I don’t know how I got here and I hope I don’t stay long
It sure ain’t much fun being stuck here in this song
If you open up my refrigerator and take a look inside
You’ll see all the necessities yea a country boy will survive
No more of that weight watchin stuff I eat just what I please
And now my favorite entree is chicken livers from KFC
Now I keep a keg on hand full of my favorite brew
I threw out all her chardonnay and her bubbly champagne too
If she ever takes a notion and comes back here someday
She’s gonna live by my mancave rules and do just what I say
Repeat Chorus
