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
