Story Behind The Song
I'd been kicking around this chord progression, and when my Grandfather passed away the whole thing clicked together, the idea of writting something he'd have enjoyed listening to. The lyrics poured out and we did the original demo the day of his funeral. I guess the whole thing was about a week too late.

Lyrics
Remember when, I was just a kid
doesn't seem so long ago
A fishing pole, an Easter hat
How would I ever know?
Lessons you learn
you get paid for passing "Go"
It's time to carry on once again
It's no time for losing a freind
I'm back off to work with the band
It's time to carry on once again
Souveniers, from far away
months before holidays
movies of, our family
those were such different days
and though he's gone now
to a better place
It's time to carry on once again
It's no time for losing a freind
I'm back off to work with the band
It's time to carry on once again
And may you rest in peace
