I been trying to live my life In between the heartbeats It's like cutting a with a pocket knife In between the heartbeats Ain't made it out of the thicket yet But an ounce of luck and a pound of sweat Soon as I get there I'm going to place my bets In the heartbeats
Rain comes down and the rivers rise In between the heartbeats Sun comes down and the river runs dry In between the heartbeats Well 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 river's gonna run In between the heartbeats
Oh and you gotta be quick when your heart's beating fast Oh got to get in the moment the moments passed Lord and you gotta be patient baby when your takes it down Lord got to get in the rhythm of the world going round
I been meaning to change my ways In the heartbeats Soon as I find me some longer days In between the heartbeats Only 24 hours on that ol' clock You can't show up late when time is boss 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 In between the 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 between the heartbeats Yean in between the heartbeats
