It was seven hundred fenceposts from your place to ours Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car Sometimes it was raining, sometimes it would shine We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little And their ain't no road to long When you meet in the middle It's been seven years tomorrow since we said our vows Under that old pine tree, you ought to see it now Standing in the back yard reminding me and you That if we don't see eye to eye there's something we can do I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little And their ain't no road to long When you meet in the middle Babe I love the way we work it out That's what love's about I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little And their ain't no road to long When you meet in the middle I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little And their ain't no road to long When you meet in the middle I'd start walking your way You'd start walking mine We'd meet in the middle 'Neath that old Georgia pine We'd gain a lot of ground 'Cause we'd both give a little And their ain't no road to long When you meet in the middle
