One Year Older

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And I gotta remember to call my brother
He's one year older tomorrow
Where's the time go?

[Verse 2]
Winter comes and sky turns gray
Long cold nights and quiet days
Turn the logs and warm your hands
'Til the whiskey comes around again

[Chorus]
And I gotta remember to call my mother
She's one year older tomorrow
Where's the time go?

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
And I gotta remember to call my father
He's one year older tomorrow
Where's the time go?

[Verse 4]
Summer comes and teachers smile
All the wound-up children running wild
Picnic tables in the shade
Pass the cold iced tea and lemonade

[Outro]
And 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?
