Time to move on

A ring around an oak tree, a circle 'round the sun

Time is like some rascal kid who knocks the door and runs

Oh, nothing lasts forever and I couldn't tell you why

But every night, the sun slips through the sky

Singing, "I think it's time to move on"

Oh, I think it's time to move on

Way back when in high school, I tripped and fell in love

We gave each other everything, in retrospect, too much

Oh, thought it'd last forever, it don't always work like that

Looking back, I'm sure glad that we said

"Honey, I think it's time to move on"

Oh, I think it's time to move on

The steeples and the stages, bus calls and cheap hotels

A decade of my life, and man, I think I did it well

Oh, it was mostly Heaven, but it's hard to keep out hell

Is it Jesus or the devil or myself?

Singing, "I think it's time to move on"

Yeah, I think it's time to move on

I got the call in Kansas while I was on the road

"Your grandma's only got a couple minutes till she goes"

Mom held the phone up so I could say my last goodbye

And somewhere in the silence, she replied

"I think it's time to move on"

Oh, I think it's time to move on
