About the song
Have you ever found yourself caught in that sweet spot, that comfortable “in between”? Scotty McCreery’s “In Between” isn’t just a song; it’s an anthem for those of us who appreciate the beauty of balance. With his signature deep, resonant voice, McCreery paints a vivid picture of a life lived not in extremes, but in the perfectly imperfect middle ground.
From the very first notes, the track exudes a laid-back charm, like a warm breeze on a summer evening. It speaks to the relatable experiences of not being the wildest party animal nor the ultimate homebody, but someone who enjoys both a Friday night out and a quiet Sunday morning. The lyrics are refreshingly honest, celebrating the simple joys of a life that finds contentment in moderation.
McCreery masterfully avoids clichés, instead offering specific and heartwarming examples. He sings about loving a little bit of neon and a little bit of backroads, a touch of rock and roll alongside the timeless appeal of country. This isn’t a song about settling; it’s about embracing the richness that comes from appreciating different facets of life. It’s about finding happiness in the blend, the mix, the beautiful “in between.”
What makes this song so compelling is its genuine authenticity. You can feel that McCreery isn’t just singing words; he’s sharing a piece of himself. He connects with listeners on a deeply personal level, acknowledging that many of us navigate life in this very way – appreciating both the excitement and the tranquility, the fast-paced moments and the serene ones.
“In Between” is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a comforting reminder that you don’t have to fit neatly into any single category to live a fulfilling life. It’s an invitation to embrace your own unique blend of passions and preferences, and to find joy in the perfectly wonderful space right in the middle. So, turn up the volume, let Scotty McCreery’s warm vocals wash over you, and celebrate the beauty of living life “in between.”

Lyrics
I’m a little bit a ball cap
Little bit a pearl snap button down shirt
Little bit a big city concrete
But a lot more small town dirt
I can see your pretty eyes
Reading me like a map
Wondering who I am
And where I’m at
I’m in between
Friday night wild and quiet Sunday morning
Between
Done after one and keep on pouring
Ain’t too high
Ain’t too low
Just holding down the middle I’m steady as I go
I ain’t all holy water and I ain’t all Jim Beam
I’m somewhere in between
I can be a steel toe work boot
40 hour blue collar, mud on my jeans
Then on weekend pack a bag
Disappear kick back on a white sand beach
I’m a far cry from being
A one night stand
But I ain’t ready
For a ring on my hand
I’m in between
Friday night wild and quiet Sunday morning
Between
Done after one and keep on pouring
Ain’t too high
Ain’t too low
Just holding down the middle I’m steady as I go
I ain’t all holy water and I ain’t all Jim Beam
I’m somewhere in between
I can see your pretty eyes
Reading me like a map
Wondering who I am
And where I’m at
I’m in between
Friday night wild and quiet Sunday morning
Between
Done after one and keep on pouring
Ain’t too high
Ain’t too low
Just holding down the middle I’m steady as I go
I ain’t all holy water and I ain’t all Jim Beam
I’m somewhere in between
Yeah, I’m somewhere in between
(Ain’t too high, ain’t too low)
