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

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

[@carlramsey1117]

Love Codt Jinks, thought a lot of Tyler Childers BUT even though I still listen some it is not with the same intensity b/c it always gonna be in the back of my mind how he's giving legitimacy to the BOGUS ASS black lives matter organization!! I cant help but think he's listened too much to that radical ass sturgill Simpson!!!! Simpson did produce Tyler last album soooooo........

@@carlramsey1117 yeap. like saying I only need the the left to buy tickets. when it was all the others who got them in the spotlight. Oh well.

I first heard this. All I can think is how my life was growing up. My dad was always on the road. And my mom basically raised us. It was hard not having my dad around. But, he was driving for a living. He was always faithful to my mother though. Love this song.

[@brendaharlen3164]

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.
