One Year Older

Autumn comes and Summer goes

Moon hangs high and the sun stays low

Pile that wood and burn those leaves

Black smoke holding onto me

And I gotta remember to call my brother

He's one year older tomorrow

Where's the time go?

Winter comes and sky turns gray

Long cold nights and quiet days

Turn the logs and warm your hands

Till the whiskey comes around again

And I gotta remember to call my mother

She's one year older tomorrow

Where's the time go?

Spring comes rising from the ground

To taste the rain that's falling down

Hide your heavy coat away

Watch the birds all gliding home again

Gotta remember to call my father

He's one year older tomorrow

Where's the time go?

Summer comes and teachers smile

All the wound up children running wild

Picnic tables in the shade

Pass the cold iced tea and lemonade

I gotta remember to call my sister

She's one year older tomorrow

And I gotta remember to call my brother

He's one year older tomorrow

Where's the time go?
