This track was commissioned by Jeff Zahos and Dina Izenstark. They asked for a song to commemorate Jeff's parents 50th anniversary. It was used in conjunction with a slide show that Jeff and Dina put together. The lyrics are partially biographical.
lyrics
Oh how the years go by
Oh how the years go by
Oh how the years go by
Roll on down the road
Keene New Hampshire down to Caroline
Keene New Hampshire down to Caroline
Or from Caroline stayed down in Caroline
Roll on down the road
Yellowy and Bluey got us there
Yellowy and Bluey got us there
Yellowy and Bluey got us there
Roll on down the road
Oh how the years go by
Oh how the years go by
Oh how the years go by
Roll on down the road
Well we've been from the Old Dominion State to
Buffalo which is the home of lake effect snow
The Emerald City in the Evergreen State to
An ocean of corn in the Land of Lincoln
The Garden State New Jersey to
Cow Town KC
All these places we've called home
Oh how the years go by (oh how the years go by)
Oh how the years go by (50 of em! 50 years!)
Oh how the years go by (its the golden anniversary ya know)
Roll on down the road (roll on down the road)
Roll on down the road
