Jude: 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 aint 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
