One Foot

I live in a small house On the end of a quiet street Just doing my best To take care of my family I work pretty long hours Lately I feel my age Dodging every bullet Resolute and fluid Laughing as I skirt by Another close shave One foot In front of the other I am One step Behind it all Time never stops the clock Just keeps marching on Marching on marching on Marching on marching on Everyday has its problems Every night has its own reward Every dawn ambles on Of its own accord Joy and sorrow Are borne on a loving wind With simple dedication Every generation Holding it together For family and friends One foot In front of the other we are One step Behind it all Time never stops the clock Just keeps marching on Marching on marching on Marching on marching One foot In front of the other I am One step Behind it all Time never stops the clock Just keeps marching on Marching on marching on Marching on marching There are moments I want to throw the towel in But it would be just my luck to find I need it back again At the edge of the morning As coral light bleeds to gray The sky catches in your breath And you greet the day With the art of a trickster And a well-rehearsed slight of hand Steady as a heart beat Moving down each new street Needing to believe We are part of some plan One foot In front of the other I am One step Behind it all Time never stops the clock Just keeps marching on Marching on marching on Marching on marching One foot In front of the other we are One step Behind it all Time never stops the clock Just keeps marching on Marching on marching on Marching on marching on One Foot In front of the other One step behind it all Marching on marching on Marching on One Foot In front of the other One step Behind it all Marching on marching on Marching on One Foot In front of the other One step Behind it all Marching on marching on Marching on One Foot In front of the other
