Probably cleaner as

\version "2.18.2"

\score {
  \new Staff \with { \accepts "ChordNames"
                     \override ChordName.outside-staff-priority = #20
                     \override ChordName.direction = #UP
                   }
  <<
    \new ChordNames \with { \remove "Axis_group_engraver"
                          } { c1 g }
    {
      \tempo 4=100
      g'4 g' d' g' 
      c''^\markup "text"  b' g' g' 
    }
  >>
}

Also note that you likely would need to play around with padding values
and stuff to make for a good impression since the ChordNames context
cannot be expected to provide the best values for outer-staff material
integration.
