In Between the Heartbeats - Adrienne Young

I been trying to live my life

In between the heartbeats

It’s like cutting a path with a pocket knife

In between the heartbeats

I 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 to place my bets

In between the heartbeats

Rain comes down and the rivers rise

In between the heartbeats

Sun comes up and the river’s run dry

In between the heartbeats

And all this worryin' about what to come

Won’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 'fore the moment is passed

Lord and 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 on that ol' clock

You can’t show 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

In 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 heartbeats

Yean in between the heartbeats
