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
