Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble released their fourth studio album, In Step, in 1989. The title In Step might be seen as a reference to Vaughan's newly acquired sobriety after years of drug and alcohol abuse that ultimately led to his admission to recovery. Additionally, it was Vaughan's last album with Double Trouble and his final record published during his lifetime. In 1990, he collaborated with his brother, Jimmie Vaughan, on the album Family Style; Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter accident later that year.
Vaughan was killed in a helicopter accident in East Troy, Wisconsin, after a performance at the Alpine Valley Music Theater with Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, and his elder brother Jimmie Vaughan earlier in the evening. Clapton never relinquished his position in the doomed chopper. According to Eric's memoirs, four helicopters were rented to transport artists back to Chicago. Stevie was in another chopper with two of Eric's crew members.
In 1999, the album was reissued with an audio interview part and four extra live recordings.

This video is recorded with a Drumless track that I played on drums. The drums you hear are of the sounds that Joey played, not the original drummer. The original drum track played and recorded in the original version was not used in this video.
From this video on, all drum covers will be Drumless versions, and the drums you will hear are of my sound, and drumming will be as close to the original as possible. ***

Lyrics:
Day by day night after night
Blinded by the neon lights
Hurry here, hustlin' there
No one's got the time to spare
Money's tight, nothin' free
Won't somebody come and rescue me
I am stranded
Caught in the crossfire
Stranded
Caught in the crossfire
Tooth for tooth, eye for an eye
Sell your soul just to buy, buy, buy
Beggin' a dollar, stealin' a dime
Come on, can't you see that I
I am stranded
Caught in the crossfire
I am stranded
Caught in the crossfire
I need some kind of kindness
Some kind of sympathy, oh no
We're stranded
Caught in the crossfire
Save the strong, lose the weak
Never turning the other cheek
Trust nobody, don't be no fool
Whatever happened to the golden rule
We got stranded
Caught in the crossfire
We got stranded
Caught in the crossfire
We got stranded
Caught in the crossfire
Stranded
Caught in the crossfire
Help me
