I been trying to live my life In between heartbeats It's like cutting a path with a pocket knife In between the heartbeats Ain't made out of the thicket yet But with an ounce of luck and a 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 heartbeats Sun comes down and the river runs dry In between the heartbeats Well all this 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 be quick when your heart's beating fast Oh got to get in the moment 'fore the moments passed Lord and you gotta be patient baby when your heart takes it down Lord got to get the rhythm of the world going round
I been meaning to change my ways In between the heartbeats Soon as I me some longer days In between the heartbeats Only 24 hours on that ol' clock You can't show up late when time is the boss Ain't no 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 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 best you can do is do your best In between the heartbeats Yeah in between the heartbeats Yean in between the heartbeats
