Jude - In Between lyrics

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
