Steve Wariner - Caught Between Your Duty And Your Dream

Текст песни

My daddy worked at the foundry Monday through Friday
Come Saturday night he was the leader of the band
He played all the dances down at the BFW
And why he never hit it big I couldn’t understand
He said someday you’ll grow up and have to make your choices
Just like your Mama and I have had to do
And that check that comes on Friday helps Mama feed the family
And singing on the weekend, that feeds me to
But I’ve got my duty and I’ve got my dream
And either one’s as easy or as hard as it might seem
Someday you’ll understand exactly what it means
To be caught between your duty and your dream
I don’t have to tell you I grew up and moved to Nashville
Monday through Sunday I’m the leader of the band
And I’ve got my family sometimes I leave behind me
I travel round the country and play the one night stand
Sometimes I wish I was more like my daddy
And worked down at the foundry and came home every night
But I made my choices and I carry 'em with me
Just like the pictures of my children and my wife
I’ve got my duty and I’ve got my dream
And either one’s as easy or as hard as it might seem
And he always said that I would know just what it means
To be caught between your duty and your dream
Sometimes my Mama and my Daddy come to see me
Sitting on the front row they’re so proud
I wonder if they’ll ever know just how much they have taught me
They led me to the place I’m standing now
I’ve got my duty and he’s got his dream
And either one’s as easy or as hard as it might seem
Every father’s son exactly what I mean
Caught between your duty and your dream
Caught between your duty and your dream
