In the Mean Time
[Verse 1 - Hayes Carll]
The good times we've had, the smiles and the laughs
Are the pictures that fill up these frames
That hang in the halls and cover the walls
Of the home where we spend our days
And most times those good times are times that we're in
Even the tough times we'd walk through again
[Chorus - Hayes Carll & Brandy Clark]
But in the mean time
The holler and scream time
The crush all your dreams time
The can't hardly breathe time
When faith gets forgotten
And hope falls behind
The love that we had turns bitter and bad
In the mean time
[Verse 2 - Brandy Clark]
We've been through some years, some heartaches some tears
Some struggles like most people do
We held on by a thread to the vows that we said
And somehow we're still true blue
At yesterday's end we were still friends
And tomorrow might find us right back there again
[Chorus - Hayes Carll & Brandy Clark]
But in the mean time
The holler and scream time
The crush all your dreams time
The can't hardly breathe time
When faith gets forgotten
And hope falls behind
The love that we had turns bitter and bad
In the mean time
[Outro]
Help us outrun the damage we've done
In the mean time
In the mean time
