It's a Trio, Me, Myself and I
Story behind the song
Noticing how fast time was moving along made me stop and take time to look around and write down these thoughts.
Lyrics
Their Old Man
(Jim Russ)
All the Christmas things are packed up
And stored away in the crawl space
I can’t believe how fast it went
Soon we will be helping the kids color their Easter eggs
I’ve done my share of shoveling
Clearing away all that deep snow
Slid down the hills a couple times
Walked on our frozen lake wondering just how far to go
(Chorus)
They won’t be young forever
So I’m gonna be with them when I can
It won’t be long before I’m just their old man
They won’t be young forever
So I’m gonna teach them as much as I can
Maybe someday they’ll say, “I learned that from my old man”
Looking forward to warmer days
Driving to the pool for a little swim
Riding on our bicycles
Sun beating down as we all peddle against that summer wind
Taking them to their baseball games
They’ve come so far since their T-Ball days
It reminds me when I was young
You had to think fast and move like the wind for those double plays
(Repeat Chorus)
He won’t be old forever
I better share that time when I can
It’s been too long now it’s time to visit my old man
