Story behind the song
I wrote this song about my young daughter (even though for artistic purposes it refers to my "son") in hopes that she will have time to be a "little kid".
Lyrics
TIME MARCHES ON My kid needs a little time to be a little kid He needs the opportunity to do the things I did He needs to have the chance to play out in the dirt He needs to learn that you can learn a lot from getting’ hurt I’d like to show him how to go fly a kite And find the constellations on a moonless summer night I’d like to tell him fishin’ is as good as it can get And kissin’ girls is wonderful but please son, don’t start yet! CHORUS TIME MARCHES ON THE LITTLE KID IN FRONT OF YOU WILL SUDDENLY BE GROWN TIME MARCHES ON BEFORE YOU KNOW THE KID YOU KNOW WILL HAVE KIDS OF HIS OWN He needs to know that money is the root of good and bad That all you’ll have is lots of “stuff” if money’s all you have Work and satisfaction are things we should revere And love and friends and people are the reasons we’re all here CHORUS I want to say slow down, enjoy it while you can You’ll have lots of time in life to do things as a man Years from now when you look back at the silly things you did You can smile and tell YOUR son, “Go ahead, be a kid” CHORUS Before you know the kid you know / will have kids of his own
