Lyrics
Where Did the Time Go?
Words and music written by Daniel Kent Petersen and David Kent Petersen
1st verse
Got my first BMX bike
Back when I turned eight years old my
Brother helped me put it together
We did everything together
Riding down the hill with no hands
Up through the fields of dirt jumps
Has twenty years gone by
Chorus
Oh...oh where did the time go?
It's flying past me faster every day
Oh...oh where did the time go?
Doesn't it seem like just yesterday?
Oh...oh where did the time go?
2nd verse
I learned to drive my dad's car
I learned to play the guitar
We wrote a song called "Moldy Roses"
Dad taught us how to yodel
Our first gig was at the Smoke House
Soon after we both moved out
Has it really been ten years?
Chorus
Bridge
It's been seven years since my brother took his vows
It's been three years since I settled down
Now we're both dads...
I can hardly believe it
Chorus
Repeat chorus
Repeat chorus
