Description
This is about how life flies by – things we thought would take forever are suddenly done. With our jobs and earning a living taking up our time, our kids seem to grow up without us. We get old and fall apart – but this song will have no sadness! We all fall down, but that's no reason to cry!
Lyrics
Smokey BBQ and a little bit of Jack. Reclinin' in my chair 'cause I gotta rest my back. Workin' all day long ain't makin' me strong, Wastin' me away never cuttin' me no slack. Snackin' on some chips, sippin' whiskey with my wife. Days are goin' fast while I'm tryin' to get a life, when my Kids are growin' up and they movin' on their own. I see it all around me but I'm hardly ever home. Sun is goin' down, crickets start to chirp. Got to go to bed 'cause I gotta go to work. Wishin' I was living instead of workin' for the man, I work hard for him but he don't give a damn. This is getting' crazy, I wanna take it slow, Sometimes I just can't bear it, And wouldn't you know... [chorus] Oh time flies! And time lies. The world goes around, and we all fall down, But that's no reason to cry. One day I'm gonna chuck it, gonna tell them where to go, But until then I guess I gotta make a show. Is there any way out? I don't wanna live this way. But I owe the bank, got them bills I gotta pay. Ribs are almost done, kids are running this a-way, Gonna party with'em until the end of the day. Somebody help me, my life is goin' fast, Isn't there a way to make these precious moments last? She was just a little one not to long ago. Now she's off to college, learnin' to say “No.” Flowers in her hair, a giggle in her voice, Now she's all grown up; I got little choice. This is getting' crazy, I wanna take it slow, Sometimes I just can't bear it, And wouldn't you know... [chorus]
