Lyrics
( catchy guitar instrumental)
**[Verse 1]**
Driving down the road, sun's setting low
Car starts sputtering, oh no, no
Pulled up to a sign, it said "Welcome to Down"
Population twenty, in a one-light town
Just a flashing red light and nothing more
A diner and gas station, what a score!
**[Chorus]**
Stranded in the middle of nowhere land
My car's busted, and I'm stuck in the sand
No mechanic, no tow truck in sight
Guess I'll be living off of burgers tonight
**[Verse 2]**
Walked into the diner, met a guy named Hank
Said he's the chef, and the cashier at the bank
Told me his specialty's the questionable steak
And the gas station sells pies that he likes to bake
Hank's cooking skills aren't the best
But in this town, it's still a feast, I guess
**[Chorus]**
Stranded in the middle of nowhere land
My car's busted, and I'm stuck in the sand
No mechanic, no tow truck in sight
Guess I'll be living off of burgers tonight
**[Verse 3]**
Asked for a mechanic, Hank just laughed
Said "Around here, we use duct tape and a shaft"
Offered me a slice of his mystery pie
I took one bite and started wondering why
Duct tape fixes everything, or so Hank claims
In this tiny town with its peculiar names
**[Chorus]**
Stranded in the middle of nowhere land
My car's busted, and I'm stuck in the sand
No mechanic, no tow truck in sight
Guess I'll be living off of burgers tonight
**[Verse 4]**
Tried to call for help, but there's no signal here
Hank said, "Don't worry, just have another beer"
Sat on a bar stool, watching the light blink red
As the only entertainment in this town, 'nuff said
No cell signal, no Wi-Fi to be found
Just stories and laughs going 'round and 'round
**[Chorus]**
Stranded in the middle of nowhere land
My car's busted, and I'm stuck in the sand
No mechanic, no tow truck in sight
Guess I'll be living off of burgers tonight.
[Verse 5]
Three days later, still no car in sight
But I’ve learned all the town gossip and trivia by night
Hank’s become my buddy, and the cook’s my new mate
Guess I’m a part of this town, and it’s kinda great
Found a place in this quirky little town
With my new friends, can’t feel too down
[Chorus]
Stranded in the middle of nowhere land
My car’s busted, and I’m stuck in the sand
No mechanic, no tow truck in sight
Guess I’ll be living off of burgers tonight
[Bridge]
Who knew being stuck could be so fun?
Hank and I, we’ve had a good run
From rubbery steak to mystery pies
This little town’s a funny surprise
[Chorus]
Stranded in the middle of nowhere land
My car’s busted, and I’m stuck in the sand
No mechanic, no tow truck in sight
Guess I’ll be living off of burgers tonight
[Chorus]
Stranded in the middle of nowhere land
My car’s busted, and I’m stuck in the sand
No mechanic, no tow truck in sight
Guess I’ll be living off of burgers tonight
