While living and working in Los Angeles, he enjoyed a few minor successes, before the break-out hits “Pick Me Up On Your Way Down” and “Heartaches by the Number” led him to move to Nashville in 1960. There, he became an immediate success, his songs recorded by innumerable country artists. Among his biggest hits was the Patsy Cline classic “I Fall to Pieces.” A member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame, he was a force in country music until his death.

Harlan Howard Lyrics
(Mr In-between Mr In-between better leave the scene Mr In-between)
Well I'm too old for girls and I'm too young for women
I've looked all around and my hopes are a dimmin'
I feel like a fish not allowed any swimmin' and it makes a fellow mean
To feel he's a part of the lost generation
I feel like a choo choo that can't find a station
I work like a dog with no recreation and they call me Mr In-between
(Mr In-between Mr In-between makes a fellow mean Mr In-between)
I got a hot rod Chevy with the twin carburators
And I know a gal that's a real sharp tomater
And she'd got a daddy with a Caddy that'll date her you see what I mean
The sweet little thing's just sets me a droolin'
But I'm too big for sodas I'm too old for schoolin'
I'm too young for lovin' but I'm too old for foolin' they call me Mr In-between
(Mr In-between Mr In-between tries to live so clean Mr In-between)
Lord I feel like a sailboat kept in a bottle
I feel like an engineer that can't find the throttle
I'm too small to walk but I'm too big to toddle and Lawdy I'm turning green
To see all them men makin' time with the ladies
The high school kids at the shows with their babies
While I run around like a dog with the rabies and they call me Mr In-between
(Mr In-between Mr In-between better leave the scene Mr In-between)
Well I'm too old for girls and I'm too young for women
I've looked all around and my hopes are a dimmin'
I feel like a fish not allowed any swimmin' and it makes a fellow mean
To feel he's a part of the lost generation
I feel like a choo choo that can't find a station
I work like a dog with no recreation and they call me Mr In-between
(Mr In-between Mr In-between makes a fellow mean Mr In-between)
I got a hot rod Chevy with the twin carburators
And I know a gal that's a real sharp tomater
The sweet little thing's just sets me a droolin'
But I'm too big for sodas I'm too old for schoolin'
I'm too young for lovin' but I'm too old for foolin' they call me Mr In-between
(Mr In-between Mr In-between tries to live so clean Mr In-between)
Lord I feel like a sailboat kept in a bottle
I feel like an engineer that can't find the throttle
I'm too small to walk but I'm too big to toddle and Lawdy I'm turning green
To see all them men makin' time with the ladies
The high school kids at the shows with their babies
While I run around like a dog with the rabies and they call me Mr In-between
(Mr In-between Mr In-between better leave the scene Mr In-between)
