Between a rock and a hard place

(Yelroch Stevens)

Between a rock and a hard place is a song about being born into already bad situations. Daddy was a con and Ma was working girl. What did you think was going to happen. Some times there's just no way out and we play the hand we're dealt. Sometimes we win, most times we lose.

When you’re born into trouble hard times will come your way
You’ll beg, you’ll steal and borrow just to get you through the day
My Mama was a hooker and my Daddy was a con
No other side of the tracks when both sides were wrong

Pre chorus
Barely just a boy and told to be a man
Go out there and take it son or you’ll never understand

Chorus
Between a rock and hard place
Between a thin line and a rule
Raised on my own
Was just raising a fool

My daddy was a scheming man and schemed his whole damn life
I was there when he stole your pension or robbed your lonely wife
Mama was a working girl short skirts and high heels on
Sidewalks were her office and her clients moved along

Pre Chorus
Barely just a boy and told to understand
We take what we can get but we don’t ever show our hand

Chorus
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a thin line and a rule
Raised on my own
Was just a raising a fool

I never went to college, no schools or teacher’s pet
Raised on the streets and taught to take what I could get
Started off small robbing old folk and the young
Upgraded to the liquor stores the day I got my gun

Pre Chorus
Barely just a man and always on the run
We breath the same air boy don’t be scared of anyone

Chorus
Between a rock and a hard place
Between an thin line and a rule
Raised on my own 
Was just raising a fool

The older you get in life the more reckless you become
Got a gun to scare them off but now I’ve killed someone
I’m running from the law and they ain’t to far behind
Police cars and sirens a loaded pistol at my side

Pre chorus
Barely just a man and then end was drawing near
Put your foot to the floor sun make those bastards disappear

Chorus
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a thin line and a rule
Raised on my own
Was just raising a fool

Twenty five to life were judge’s final words
High fences and a sniper tower to shoot us down like birds
I found myself in prison living out my sorry days
Wishing that my folks had taught me different ways

Pre chorus
Barely just a man and already put away
You made your bed now lie in it I heard my father say

Chorus
Between a rock and a hard place
Between a thin line and a rule
Raised on my own
Was just raising a fool
