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
