Where'd The Time Go Lyrics by Charlie Moose First you go to work Then you get some sleep Not much time for having fun Future looks so bleak When we were young you know we didn't have a care We wore some funny clothes and we grew our hair Where the time go It seems my life's been Flying by so fast Where'd the time go You'd always thought it'd last Times they have changed Just take a look around It's a Friday night And yet there's no one to be found Sometimes you wonder When it all will end Seems your life has passed you by Where are all my friends Morning rolls around Just another day Waiting for my time to come Not much more to say Spend my time just working Work my life away Got no time for having fun No time left for play Where'd the time go It seems my life's been flying by so fast Where'd the time go You always thought it'd last Where the time go It seems my life's been Flying by so fast Where'd the time go You'd always thought it'd last |
The main riff
for this tune I came up with a few years back. I presented it to some of
the guys but we never got around to doing anything with it. Finally I
decided I was going to leave it as an instrumental centering around the
melody in the solo guitar part. Then one day during playback I was
fiddling around on the keys and I came up with the horn part in the
chorus, and wrote the melody line for the chorus around that. Then came
the lyrics. I was sitting in the control room overdubbing some of the
bass tracks. The bass in this tune is a pretty cool walking thing and I
was having some trouble getting a clean take. I started thinking about
how in the old days I could find someone to put down bass tracks with a
couple of phone calls but now everyone is either busy with work, kids,
family, etc. I was thinking about how everything has changed and trying
to figure out when it happens. It Seems like just yesterday we were all
25 years old Hanging out partying, everyone was in a band, we would
spend weekdays at rehearsals in the loft we had rented in Jersey City,
NJ, or in the studio recording new material with Jim & Jay at The Barge,
or Tony Pomponio at Legend Studio's. We didn't have a care in the world,
out at the clubs every weekend playing or promoting. We used to be able
to make a couple of phone calls and the next thing you know you would
have 50 people hanging out. WE thought those times would never end. My
how wrong we were, now just to get a few people together it takes weeks
of planning and dozens of phone calls, and there's still no guarantee
everyone will show. Well I hope you enjoy this one and maybe the next
time you have a party or get together planned with some friends and your
boss calls you the night before and asks you to work you'll make the
right decision -I know I will, Life's just too short.
