In Between

Well i knew a dealer dan And he said don't worry about me I'm never gonna fit the plan and i'll never work for free And then spent some time in a state penitentury I believe he made ten cents and hour And i knew a girl in college Was sweet as the summer sun Never worried about books or knowledge She was having too much fun And i hear these days Shes living at home with her three year old son Reading up on women taking power And the trees grow higher and the leaves they grow green Let me admire the things i have seen Don't be suprised little bro When the world turns out mean Life is what happens in between I knew a man, old man About 95 He could hardly see nor stand But he was god damn glad to be alive And said 'hey son go taste the life" Go get in your car and drive And that's exactly what i do But out here on the road you know a man leads a simple life Don't carry no heavy loads And he don't get time for the lady or the wife And some times the stars i'm following oh they don't shine so bright And thats when i wish i was home with you And the trees grow higher and the leaves they grow green Let me admire the things i have seen Dont be suprised little bro When the world turns out mean Life is what happens in between Well you remmber our dad Remmeber what he said This heres a family, gonna be together till we're dead Ten years, and 2 homes ago It ain't quite what turned out to be And i still hear those words they ring and ring and ring inside of me And the trees grow higher and the leaves they grow green Let me admire the things i have seen Dont be suprised little bro When the world turns out mean Life is what happens in between Life is what happens in between
