In Between Lyrics - 430 N. Harper Ave. - Jude

Well I knew a dealer, dan, and he'd say 

"don't worry 'bout me - 

I'm never gonna fit the plan 

And I'll never work for free" 

And then he spent some time in a state penitentiary 

I believe he made ten cents an hour 

And I knew a girl in college 

Sweet as the summer sun 

Never worried 'bout books and knowledge 

She was having too much fun 

And I hear these days she's living at home with a three year old son 

Reading up on women taking power 

The trees grow high 

And the leaves they grow green 

And me oh my all the things that I have seen 

Don't be surprised little bro 

When the world turns out mean 

Life is what happens in between 

Well I know a man, old man, about ninety five 

He could hardly see nor stand 

But he was goddamn glad to be alive 

And he said, "hey son go and taste of life! 

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 

Ad he don't get time for the lady or a wife 

But sometimes the stars aren't fallin' 

Oh no they don't shine so bright 

And that's when I wish I was home with you 

The trees they grow high 

And the leaves they grow green 

And me oh my all the things that I have seen 

Don't be surprised little bro 

When the world turns out mean 

Life is what happens in between 

Well you remember our dad, remember what he said? 

He said, "this here's a family, 

Gonna be together 'til we're dead" 

Ten years and two 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 

The trees grow high 

And the leaves they grow green 

And me oh my all the things that I have seen 

Don't be surprised little bro 

When the world turns out mean 

Life is what happens in between 

Life is what happens in between
