My how time flies

And I'm trying to tie down my time

From flying away, away.

Well you could find me permanently entertaining

Running around butt naked when it was raining

And staining my kneecaps with blood and tree sap

Man I could stay in those days

Yeah making and creating anything of the sort

I didn't follow the other kid cookie cutting a tree fort

But I made a teepee

And my father helped me.

My how time flies

And I'm trying to tie down my time

From flying away

My my many memories have gone by

And I'm catching quite a supply

Of love in my life.

Like it was yesterday I was nearly half my size

Pounding nails making potions with pa and clyde

Would come with me outside while pa sat in his chair

And I wished to the stars that he would stay there

I always loved to be sick over at my grandma's

Wandering out to the alleyway wearing only pajamas

And she, she told me don't go touching the whiskey

So I turned rocks into my friends

I better leave it all, playing in the water for hours

Then rinsing off, and baring it all outside in the shower

I'd be alone on a stone in the creek

Told to be a man when a hook's making me weak

What a treat it was, that damn candy store

Gave me a sweet tooth and an excuse

Couldn't get away with that word before

And the candy man just gave me more and more

Yeah yeah, well.

My how time flies

And I'm trying to tie down my time

From flying away

My my many memories have gone by

And I'm catching quite a supply

Of love in my life.

I've been to keystone steamboat denver colorado

I would ski down those slopes and up the mountain I'd go

Can't forget about crested butte

Or backpacking north and south manitou

Then I flew on a tandem across the pond

While my mamma was pedaling I was singing the songs

I was singing the songs

I was singing.

My how time flies

And I'm trying to tie down my time

From flying away.
