I been to live my life In between the heartbeats It's like cutting a path with a pocket knife In between the heartbeats Ain't made it out of the thicket yet But with an ounce of luck and a pound of sweat Soon as I get there I'm going place my bets In between the heartbeats
Rain comes down and the rivers rise In between the heartbeats Sun comes down the river runs dry In between the heartbeats Well all this worryin' about what to come Don't amount to nothin' when it's said and done Well the sun's gonna shine and the gonna run In between the heartbeats
Oh and you gotta be quick when your heart's beating fast Oh got to in the moment 'fore the moments passed Lord you gotta be patient baby when your heart takes it down Lord got to get in the rhythm of the world going round
I been meaning to change my ways In between the heartbeats Soon as I find me some longer days In between the heartbeats Only 24 hours that ol' clock You can't show up late when time is the Ain't no counting the livin' I lost in between the heartbeats
Well the very last words from my grandma In between the heartbeats Girl you won't believe the things that I saw between the heartbeats It's a flyin leap from birth to death Gotta to treat each moment like a special guest 'Bout the best you can do is do best In between the heartbeats Yeah in between the heartbeats Yean in between the heartbeats
