Beside me she stirs softly as I slowly crawl outta bed



An stumble through the dark tryin hard not to wake the kids



A quick shave and shower, warmin up the old Freightliner



Not much time to be a father an no time left for her





Between Mason, Ohio and Dickson, Tennessee



Caught between hard rock and southern country harmony



Leavin before first light, gettin' home way too late



Hours take their toll, eighteen wheels roll on the concrete interstate





Weekend comes her city jobs done, the kids are outta school



But Ill be gone on a local run, there's risin cost of rent an' fuel



Sunday mornin' I sleep in, shell take the kids to church and pray



In the evening we wont fight again over all work an no play





Between Mason, Ohio and Dickson, Tennessee



Caught between hard rock and southern country harmony



Leavin before first light, gettin' home way too late



Hours take their toll, eighteen wheels roll on the concrete interstate





You know, they say Jesus died for everyone; red an blue, blue an gray



But lately it seems Im on the losin side of barely gettin by day to day





Between Mason, Ohio and Dickson, Tennessee



Caught between hard rock and southern country harmony



Leavin before first light, gettin' home way too late



Hours take their toll, eighteen wheels roll on the concrete interstate



Hours take their toll, eighteen wheels roll on the concrete interstate





An Lord I pray someday, some way Ill be free



Caught between hard rock and southern country harmony
