BROTHER IN TIME ©December 2025 by Mark King
(Verse 1)
There are some things, I remember more
A wild young spirit showed up at my store
During the day, we’d try to move some amps
Sunday night strippers, hoping for a chance
We might have had too many schooners of beer,
Helped dodge fire in the hold, flames so near
Through dangerous times, never any fear
We played music, till the sunrise broke
Laid it down hot, in the studio smoke
(Chorus)
Hey Bob, My brother in Time
The years can’t erase what’s in these rhymes
Mary and me, we’re holdin’ the line,
Cheerin’ you on through the hardest climb.
If you ever wanna talk about anything,
All ya gotta do is make my phone ring,
I’m right here waitin’, steady as these strings.
(Verse 2)
There were so many times you helped haul my load,
Boxes and amplifiers, down an around the world road.
Hangin’ with Alex, laughin’ till dawn,
Twisted-ass jokes, but now that’s all gone.
Harbor lights blinkin’, stories we’d spin,
Half of ‘em crazy, the rest pure sin.
We carved out work, through noise and grind,
We laughed till it hurt, We left the world behind
(Chorus)
Hey Bob, brother from back when,
Time can’t touch what’s deep down in.
Mary and me, we’re holdin’ the line,
Cheerin’ you on through the hardest climb.
All ya gotta do is make my phone ring,
I’m right here waitin’, steady as these strings.
(Bridge)
No hurry, no weight, just know this is true—
Our door is always open, we’ve always got room for you
One laugh, one riff, one late-night call,
We’ll pick it right up like we never left at all.
(Outro Verse)
So here’s to the brothers,
who work’in all night side by side,
Through every corporate fire,
and every theme park ride.
You still have that spark,
same as day one,
And we’re in your corner
till the last mix is finally done.
(Outro Tag)
You still have that spark,
Just the same as day one,
So glad you were in my corner
till the last mix is finally done.
