Middle of Nowhere ft. Blitzen Trapper & Eric Earley Lyrics

Melting snow and morning fires

I roll through time like worn tires

I'm just another spoke on mamma's wheel

Straight out the middle of nowhere

Cold world she spins around

My broken skin like frozen ground

The wear is proof that she will one day win

Straight out the middle of nowhere

Backcountry spitter it's frigid above the snow line

Grew up in the woods where hillbillies and trolls hide

Homelife in the wild where the old mountain roads climb

Dope growing country where life's slow and we don't mind

Attended to my flowing like stoked fires on cold nights

Wrote this in the shadows but now the future feels more bright

Underground like a gold mine

Direct with you like the crow flies

Hop up on a track with more flows than an ocean coastline

I feel like it's my soul's time

To finally break through

Elevate my mental state

Like an eight full of shrooms

I've tasted the truth

And found myself embraced in the womb

Reliving life and death then painfully constrained here anew

I'm paying my dues

Guess you could say I'm making my moves

Pushing through the floors surface headed straight for the roof

From a seed to a bud to a leaf to a bloom

Everybody move through phases like the face of the moon

It goes

Melting snow and morning fires

I roll through time like worn tires

I'm just another spoke on mamma's wheel

Straight out the middle of nowhere

Cold world she spins around

My broken skin like frozen ground

The wear is proof that she will one day win

Straight out the middle of nowhere

Tribal ground I'm just privileged to stand up on it

I didn't plan the past but I'm still a bi-product of it

The white man clasped his hands around the land and called it progress

Blood runs through these mountains

many folks here ain't forgot it. No

I've walked a lot of trails seen the strain on mother's gardens

Her hardship turned the streams from pristine to muddy waters

I've been dreaming we could override the system that was started

Spark awareness in the populous

Like a steed before it's slaughtered

I've been walking through my thoughts

I've been pondering some truths

Carved these decades in the wild

Like a river from its' roots

Felt the fingertips of death

But somehow I made it through

Living on the artists edge

Taking in a sharper view

What part of you defines you

And what part of you decides

There's beauty in the heart

But there's darkness in the mind

Told my mamma I'd survive

That's a promise that I've kept

Let's get this expedition started

Like a solitary step

It goes

Melting snow and morning fires

I roll through time like worn tires

I'm just another spoke on mamma's wheel

Straight out the middle of nowhere

Cold world she spins around

My broken skin like frozen ground

The wear is proof that she will one day win

Straight out the middle of nowhere

I'm from the middle of nowhere

Near the center of all

Where fugitives hide from the law

And often never get caught

Where lonely mountains stand tall

Above the ghostly fog

And canyon walls are like claws

With whitewater like jaws

I've watched the salmon brawl their way

Through all the narrows and rocks

Against the perilous odds

Only to perish then rot

I've watched the easy fall living

Turned cold with frost

The rawness of a long winter

Still holding on

But there's a cold wind blowing

Gather round the fire

And I'll tell you bout a land

That is old as time

A land before borders

A land long before us

It's the voice of these mountains

It's the cords of these forests

Like stories passed down in old folk songs

Like petroglyph inscriptions cut deep in stone

There's a window to the past

There's a spirit still here

Destination unknown

The middle of nowhere

Let's go

Where you born pal

I represent the real real Nor Cal

Siskiyou County

Up to the Northwest

I'm from the backwoods

Straight out the back woods

This if folk hop music
