Diamond Rio – Meet In the Middle Lyrics

It was 700 fence posts
From your place to ours
Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car
Sometimes it was raining and sometimes it would shine
We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine

[Chorus]
I start walking your way you start walking mine
We meet in the middle neath that old Georgia pine
We gain a lot of ground cuz we both give a little
Ain’t no road too long when we meet in the middle

It’s been 7 years tomorrow since we said our vows
Under that old pine tree you oughta see it now
Standing in the backyard reminding me and you
That if we don’t see eye to eye
There’s something we can do

[Chorus]

Babe I love the way we work it out
That’s what love is all about

[Repeat Chorus 3 times]
