Middle Of Nowhere
Lynch Dustin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know which way that you want me to go
Trying to look deep in your blue eyes
Do I lean on in or just leave it alone?
It's like I'm lost in a hundred acre field
No map and I've got no lights
Wondering what kind of friends you wanna be
I'm wishing I could read your mind
Baby what you mean when you smile like that?
When you take my hat and turn it around
And you pull me close and you push me back
Look away and laugh, I can't figure out
If you want my kiss or if I'm reading too much into this
You playing with your pretty brown hair
I wanna go there, no it ain't fair
How you got me stuck out in the middle of nowhere
Do you want me like I want you?
Or is this just how you treat all the guys?
Are you a little tease or are you into me?
Is this is a game you play, oh, give me a sign
It's like I'm lost in a town I've never been before, just driving around
Girl, you've gotta help me out
Gotta tell me which roads you want me to go down
Baby what you mean when you smile like that?
When you take my hat and turn it around
And you pull me close and you push me back
Look away and laugh, I can't figure out
If you want my kiss or if I'm reading too much into this
You playing with your pretty brown hair
I wanna go there, no it ain't fair
How you got me stuck out in the middle of nowhere
I'm out here wondering where to go
Doing nothing but it's just a dead end road
So here I go, leaning in, nice and slow
I just gotta know
Baby what you mean when you smile like that?
When you take my hat and turn it around
And you pull me close and you push me back
Look away and laugh, I can't figure out
If you want my kiss or if I'm reading too much into this
You playing with your pretty brown hair
I wanna go there, no it ain't fair
How you got me stuck out in the middle of nowhere
No, don't leave me in the middle of nowhere
I just wanna kiss you one the time
Girl I wanna go there
Baby, would it be alright
Oh, I'm so lost tonight
Out here in the middle of nowhere
The lyrics to Dustin Lynch's "Middle of Nowhere" tell the story of a guy who is confused about where he stands with the girl he likes. He's trying to read the signals she's giving him, but he's just not sure if she feels the same way he does. The song's opening lines set the stage for the ambiguous situation: "Is that a green light? Is that a stop sign? I don't know which way that you want me to go." He's unsure of what she wants from him, and it's causing him to feel lost and uncertain.
As the song progresses, he describes how he's trying to interpret her actions and expressions. He wonders if she's just playing games with him or if she really is interested. He's trying to figure out whether he should make a move or hold back, but he's stuck in the middle of nowhere without a clear path forward. As the song reaches its climax, he decides to take a chance and lean in for a kiss, hoping that she's feeling the same way he is.
Overall, "Middle of Nowhere" is a classic tale of confusion and uncertainty in the world of love. It captures the feeling of being lost and not knowing which way to turn, while also hinting at the potential for a meaningful connection if both parties are willing to take a chance.

Are you kidding? Every tune I hear off this album is better than the last.

@TNAWWE
He released Mind Reader out first but I'm hoping this is his next single! Both are awesome songs
@GrantH
Never got released as a single. It's a shame, because he plays this at almost all of his shows and it always gets a good reaction.
