Steve Wariner - Caught Between Your Duty and Your Dream lyrics

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 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 my Just like the pictures of my children and my wife But I've got my duty and I've got my dream 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
