They broke into your car last night, took the stereo
Now you say you don't know why you even live there anymore
The garage man didn't see a thing,so you guess it was an inside job
You made a reservation, a table for three
They said you'd have to wait, somebody must have bribed the maitre'd
Boss got mad and he blamed it all on you
Food was bad and the deal fell through
(chorus)
Well out here in the middle you can park it on the street
Step up to the counter; nearly always get a seat
Nobody steals, Nobody cheats
Wish you were here my love
Wish you were here my love
We got tractor pulls and Red Man chew
Corporate relo refugees that need love too
we ain't seen Elvis in a year or two
we got justification for wealth and greed~
Amber waves of grain and bathtub speed
Now we even got Starbucks, what else you need?
(chorus)
Out here in the middle where the center's on the right
And the ghost of William Jennings Bryan preaches every night
To save the lonely souls in the dashboard lights
Wish you were here my love
Wish you were here my love
(chorus)
Out here in the middle Where the buffalo roam
We're putting up towers for your cell phones
And we screen all applicants with a fine-tooth comb
Wish you were here my love
Wish you were here my love
Wish you were here my love
