J. K. Coltrain - Between Mason & Dickson lyrics

Beside me she stirs softly as I slowly crawl outta bed

An stumble through the dark tryin hard not to wake the kids

A quick shave and shower, warmin up the old Freightliner

Not much time to be a father an no time left for her

Between Mason, Ohio and Dickson, Tennessee

Caught between hard rock and southern country harmony

Leavin before first light, gettin' home way too late

Hours take their toll, eighteen wheels roll on the concrete interstate

Weekend comes her city jobs done, the kids are outta school

But Ill be gone on a local run, there's risin cost of rent an' fuel

Sunday mornin' I sleep in, shell take the kids to church and pray

In the evening we wont fight again over all work an no play

Between Mason, Ohio and Dickson, Tennessee

Caught between hard rock and southern country harmony

Leavin before first light, gettin' home way too late

Hours take their toll, eighteen wheels roll on the concrete interstate

You know, they say Jesus died for everyone; red an blue, blue an gray

But lately it seems Im on the losin side of barely gettin by day to day

Between Mason, Ohio and Dickson, Tennessee

Caught between hard rock and southern country harmony

Leavin before first light, gettin' home way too late

Hours take their toll, eighteen wheels roll on the concrete interstate

Hours take their toll, eighteen wheels roll on the concrete interstate

An Lord I pray someday, some way Ill be free

Caught between hard rock and southern country harmony
