Lyrics

Caught Between
CHORUS
Caught between the future and the past
And I don’t know about losses meant to last
Don’t know how to deal, how to step up to the plate
‘Cause I’m caught between, caught between what I know
I’m caught between, caught between what I know
And what I don’t

VERSE 1
My old man, and his and his Moved a nation, through sweat and years
Fire and iron shod the hoofs that carried the heroes that wrote the books
My young son, and his and his Looked to the future to keep the biz……

And then came the cars

CHORUS
Caught between the future and the past
And I don’t know about losses meant to last
Don’t know how to deal, how to step up to the plate
‘Cause I’m caught between, caught between what I know
And what I don’t

VERSE 2
My old man with verve and zeal stoked the fires, turned pig to steel
Made the tracks cross mountains high Made the towers reach the sky
My young son, same verve and zeal Looked to the future and thought it was real

And then we lost the steel…….

CHORUS
Caught between the future and the past
And I don’t know about losses meant to last
Don’t know how to deal, how to step up to the plate
‘Cause I’m caught between, caught between what I know
And what I don’t

BRIDGE
A forgotten few, more than you knew
Longing for lives that their father’s knew
Hard lives at times, but tradition is strong
Sometimes too strong, it’s too hard, too hard to move on

Cause I’m caught between, caught between what I know
And what I don’t

VERSE 3
My old man and all his kin dug the coal, the industrial din
Ran the trains, fired the stoves Lit the lights, kept out the cold
My young son and all his kin looked to the future, though the smoke crept in
And then we plugged in the sun…

CHORUS
Caught between the future and the past
And I don’t know about losses meant to last
Don’t know how to deal, how to step up to the plate
‘Cause I’m caught between, caught between what I know
I’m caught between, caught between what I know
And what I don’t
