[00:06.31]No Middle Ground (Dark Country Music) - Dark Country Boy
[00:12.24]No middle ground when words hit air
[00:15.86]Truth don't soften, don't play fair
[00:18.84]You either stand or you back away
[00:21.78]I learned that early, stay that way
[00:38.10]You are where the front steps crack
[00:40.91]Dog, you that the table, never walk it back
[00:43.92]Mama said say it mean and live with that
[00:46.83]So I wore my own name like a brass knuckle tax
[00:50.24]All friends been true just to fit in a frame
[00:53.39]Turn on a dime then hide from the blame
[00:56.36]I took my lumps for the things that I say
[00:59.40]But I sleep real clean at the end of the day
[01:04.59]No middle ground when words hit air
[01:08.21]Truth don't soften, don't play fair
[01:11.14]You either stand or you back away
[01:14.08]I learned that early, stay that way
[01:16.92]You know middle ground when heat gets real
[01:20.12]Say what you mean then you learn what you feel
[01:23.24]You either stand or you fade to grey
[01:26.42]I learned that early, stay that way
[01:32.32]Stay that way
[01:34.25]Stay that way
[01:42.17]Lost some love 'cause I wouldn't pretend
[01:44.81]Had to watch tight circles loosen at the end
[01:47.72]They called it pride, I called it breath in my chest
[01:50.74]If I bite my tongue, what's the part of the rest
[01:54.59]Yeah, I own every cut that I cause
[01:57.17]I bleed with the truth for I live with the loss
[02:00.16]My walk alone for the price that I paid
[02:03.69]With my shadow watched toll in the light of the day
[02:09.18]No middle ground when words hit air
[02:12.81]Truth don't soften, don't play fair
[02:15.74]You either stand or you back away
[02:18.71]I learned that early, stay that way
[02:21.69]No middle ground when faces change
[02:24.97]Lives get blurred, stories rearrange
[02:27.94]You either stand or you fade to grey
[02:31.02]I learned that early, stay that way
[02:38.67]Stay that way
