The Diamond Rio Meet in the Middle song was released in 1991 and became their very first #1 hit on the Billboard Country Music chart. Country band Diamond Rio’s “Meet in the Middle” tells the story of two lovers separated by distance who remedy the situation by meeting in the middle under a big tree. Eventually the two get married beneath the same tree where they used to meet. Whenever the couple gets into an argument, they know they can always meet in the middle to find an understanding. The tree symbolizes compromise, which many couples can relate to very well.

Diamond Rio Meet in the Middle Lyrics
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 meed in the middle
‘Neath that old Georgia pine
We’d gain a lot of ground
‘Cause we’d both give a little
And there ain’t no road too 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 there ain’t no road too long
When you meet in the middle
Bable 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 there ain’t no road too 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 there ain’t no road too 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 Georgie pine
We’d gain a lot of ground
‘Cause we’d both give a little
And there ain’t no road too long
When you meet in the middle
