Walk Me Down the Middle
The Band Perry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was meant to be by your side
And I have waited here a long time
For you to turn around and notice me
But now you're here holdin' hands with me

Walk me down the middle of the county fair
Walk me down the middle like you don't care
Walk me by the Ferris wheel and make sure that she sees
Let the whole world know you belong to me

I've heard about your bitter end
'Bout how she stole your heart and put it back again
Well I may not be the prettiest girl around
But I sure am a sight for sore, sore eyes

Walk me down the middle of main street
Walk me down where the whole town will be
I don't need no parade but make sure that she sees
Let the whole world know you belong to me

I'd walk through fire for you
Walk through barbed wire for you
I'd walk for miles, it's true
Just to be with you

If you'll walk me down the middle of my mama's church
Walk me down that aisle in your finest shirt

Let the whole world know
You will walk me down the middle of the county fair
Oh walk me down the middle like you don't care




Walk me by the Ferris wheel and make sure they all see
Let the whole world know you belong to me

Overall Meaning

The Band Perry’s song “Walk Me Down the Middle” is a love song from a woman who has been waiting for the man she loves to notice her. She professes her love and admiration for this man, who has been jaded by a past lover who took his heart and returned it broken. The woman reminds him that she has been by his side the whole time, and she is willing to do anything to prove her love for him.


The woman in this song wants the man to walk her down the middle of the county fair, right past the Ferris wheel, and make sure that everyone knows that he belongs to her. She wants him to walk her down the main street where the whole town can see them, and she doesn't need any parade, but she wants his ex-lover to see them together. She declares that she would walk through fire, barbed wire, and for miles just to be with him, and she wants him to walk her down the aisle of her mother’s church in his finest shirt.


The song is a declaration of love and an invitation to commitment, showing how the woman is not afraid to show her love and wants the whole world to know that the man she loves belongs to her. It is a beautiful representation of how love can overcome fear and doubt.
