Lyr Req: In the middle of nowhere

Sorcha, mon amour, I'm back with a request for lyrics of a laid back country song which ends with the words, "in the middle, in the middle of nowhere". I presume thats its title so I'll just lay back and leave the work to you. (Truthfully, I have searched within my capabilities without success). Thanks for your unfailing assistance on previous requests. John

It's definitely not the Hanson song. Any other clues, John? Artist?

Dusty Springfield recorded a song called "In the middle of nowhere", but I have no idea if it's the one you are looking for. Can you give us a snatch of the lyrics?

IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
(Liz Anderson)
« © '67 Greenback Music »

They had meant for me one last time to see my hometown again
Once again go there see the places where as a child I've been
As I journeyed now it was so far out it was almost in
In the middle in the middle of nowhere
Sadness talked with me as I walked the streets of my memory
Streets that seemed somehow so much smaller now than they used to be
Talked of other days when this tiny place had been home to me
In the middle in the middle of nowhere
People stared at me in silence as I walked around
Time had passed till I was just a stranger there
Folks had changed so much that no one even knew me now
In the middle in the middle of nowhere
I went once again to the schoolyard where I used to play
Passed the church of mom and daddy where they used to pray
Down the dusty road to the churchyard where they both now lay
In the middle in the middle of nowhere
As I placed my blue forgetmenots there on the ground
One last time I knelt by mom and dad in prayer
Then I said goodbye forever to that little town
In the middle in the middle of nowhere

is that the one?

That's the song I wanted. Thank you Willa, Alanabit, Amergin and Sorcha. By the way Sorcha, mon amour, (just getting personal again), is there a photograph of you on the web and if so, how do I get to see it? John (the oldest singer in town)
