Lyrics

Between The Lines

I pulled out of Florida headin? out across the land
Drivin? the rigs for a rock and roll band
I?ve got a big old Ryder with a light and sound load
And ten thousand miles of hot dusty road

Through the Dakotas and the Iowa corn
Me and Georgie just chillin, thrillin, rollin along
Pulled into Kansas and got up on the scale
Half an hour later we?re sittin? in jail
The G-man says, "Hey, what have we got here?
Eee-legal possession of two cans of beer!"

I?m a rock and roll driver and I?ll say it with pride
There?s only one life tougher and that?s doin hard time
Gotta be in Denver by a quarter to nine
The stagehands are waitin?, gotta be on time
Keep the sunny side up and the wheels
Between the lines

Well the cell was freezin? but the food was great
If you like eatin? mush from a rusty tin plate
Georgie says, "Jerz, gotta get outa here!
How they gonna do the show without any gear?!?"
I said, "Georgie, don?t wanna cause you no fear,
But the way that judge just looked we might be here next year!"
The public defender with his dolly in tow
Askin "When will we be leavin??" - "Hell, I don?t know!"
The times have sure changed, miles have taken their toll
It?s five in the mornin? and we gotta roll

You think you got it tough
Well you?ve got it just fine
Your life is a holiday next to mine
Gotta be in your town by a quarter to nine
The stagehands are waitin?, gotta be on time
Keep the sunny side up and the wheels between the lines
Between the lines

I?m a rock and roll driver and I?ll say it with pride
There?s only one life tougher and that?s doin hard time
Gotta be in your town by a quarter to nine
The stagehands are waitin?, gotta be on time
Keep your sunny side up and the wheels between the lines
Keep the wheels between the lines
Between the lines
