Boy in the Middle

Daddy was a country boy

But Mama was a city girl

They say that opposites attract.

Their troubles were all too clear

They never would have made it a year

Except for one inconvenient fact

In the midst of all the fightin'

There had been a little lovin'

And there came a little boy in the middle

Middle of the night

Baby I know it's true,

You've got your demons too

But we don't have to relive the past

We're writing our own song

We'll make it up as we go along

Building a love that's gonna last

'Cause there's no future in regretting

I find strength in not forgetting

I was once that little boy in the middle

There's something back there

Made each of us strong

Made what we love in each other

Halfway to forever

We're where we belong

Let's turn our eyes toward the future

Cause we've learned a thing or two

It's not just about me and you

This is for the ones who come downstream

And I promise you here and now

Our little boy will never doubt

That he's the center of the dream

He'll know which way the wind is blowing

He'll know a love that's overflowing

He'll always be that little boy in the middle

of our lives

middle of our hearts

the boy in the middle
