Time Moves On Lyrics by Jonas Conner
I was born beneath the Appalachian range
Took my running fathers name
Can’t give it back
Momma didn’t have a lot of money saved
Daddy smoked it all away
And packed his bags
I was sitting missing things I never had
Me and abbey we’d just tally up the days
That he’d call but never say
It wasn’t our fault
And I remember every part about that day
Mommas tone and grammas face
When they got the call
It’s hard to miss a man you never saw
And when he hit the ground I took the fall
But time moves on
Time moves on
And on
Couple years went by, I had to grow up faster
Lost my accent in Alaska
Started over
I came back home to a family that was scattered
Coby said he’d break the pattern
Was getting sober
But I could see right through those lies as I got older
As time moves on
Time moves on
And on
Now I’m 17 and nothing feels the same
As the mountains in the days
When I was younger
All that’s left of it is in a picture frame
As I grow it starts to fade
It loses color
If I could back now I’d take another
Cause time moves on
Time moves on
And on
And on
Oh, it moves on
