been trying 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 pound of sweat Soon as I get there I'm going to place my bets In between the heartbeats
Rain comes down and the rivers rise In between the heartbeats comes down and 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 sun's gonna shine and the river's gonna run between the heartbeats
Oh and you gotta be quick when your heart's beating fast Oh got to get 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 I find me some longer days In between the heartbeats Only 24 hours on that ol' clock You can't up late when time is the boss Ain't no counting the livin' I lost in between the heartbeats
Well the very last words from my grandma between the heartbeats Girl you won't believe the things that I saw In 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 your best In between the heartbeats Yeah in between the Yean in between the heartbeats
