In Between

In between just a flame and a ring
In between an apartment and a frontporch swing
In between cheap and fancy a guitar and a Grammy
In between reckless and responsibility

Sometimes I'm my mother's daughter, sometimes I'm her friend
Sometimes I play grown up and sometimes I play pretend
Sometimes I'm a princess dressed all curves
And sometimes I just wanna scream "I'm not a little girl!"
Dumb enough to think I know it all
Smart enough to know I don't
Young enough to think I'll live forever
Old enough to know I won't

In between

In between beer and basement
And Napa Valley vacation
In between hometown and a neon city
In between underestimated and overexpectated
Who I was and who I'm gonna be

Sometimes I'm my mother's daughter, sometimes I'm her friend
Sometimes I play grown up and sometimes I play pretend
Sometimes I'm a princess dressed all ribbons and all curves
And sometimes I just wanna scream, "I'm not a little girl"
Dumb enough to think I know it all
Smart enough to know I don't
Young enough to think I'll live forever
Old enough to know I won't

I know I won't

I'm half head up in the clouds, half feet down on the ground
'Cause it ain't that simple
As an adult sittin' on that page when they say, "Act your age"
But you're stuck there in the middle

Sometimes I'm my mother's daughter, sometimes I'm her friend
Sometimes I play grown up and sometimes I play pretend
Sometimes I'm a princess dressed all ribbons and all curves
And sometimes I just wanna scream "I'm not a little girl!"
Dumb enough to think I know it all
Smart enough to know I don't
Young enough to think I'll live forever
Old enough to know I won't

In the in between
Yeah
In the in between

hey sweetpea it's mama
Just wanna let you know that I love you
Thinkin' about you, missin' you while I'm on the road
Can't wait to see you when I get back
