"Time Marches On" lyrics
(originally by Tracy Lawrence)
Sister cries out from her baby bed
Brother runs in, feathers on his head
Mama's in her room, learnin' how to sew
And daddy's drinkin' beer, listenin' to the radio
Hank Williams sings "Kaw-Liga" and "Dear John"
And time marches on, and time marches on
Sister's usin' rouge and clear complexion soap
Brother's wearin' beads and he smokes a lot of dope
Mama is depressed, barely makes a sound
Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town
Bob Dylan sings "Like a Rolling Stone"
And time marches on, time marches on
The South moves north, the North moves south
A star is born, a star burns out
The only thing that stays the same is
Everything changes, everything changes
Sister calls herself a sexy grandma
Brother's on a diet for high cholesterol
Mama's out of touch with reality
And daddy's in the ground beneath the maple tree
The angels sing an old Hank Williams song
And time marches on, time marches on
Time marches on, time marches on
Brother runs in, feathers on his head
Mama's in her room, learnin' how to sew
And daddy's drinkin' beer, listenin' to the radio
Hank Williams sings "Kaw-Liga" and "Dear John"
And time marches on, and time marches on
Sister's usin' rouge and clear complexion soap
Brother's wearin' beads and he smokes a lot of dope
Mama is depressed, barely makes a sound
Daddy's got a girlfriend in another town
Bob Dylan sings "Like a Rolling Stone"
And time marches on, time marches on
The South moves north, the North moves south
A star is born, a star burns out
The only thing that stays the same is
Everything changes, everything changes
Sister calls herself a sexy grandma
Brother's on a diet for high cholesterol
Mama's out of touch with reality
And daddy's in the ground beneath the maple tree
The angels sing an old Hank Williams song
And time marches on, time marches on
Time marches on, time marches on
