"Time Marches On" is a song written by Bobby Braddock, and recorded by American country music artist Tracy Lawrence.

By the final verse, the children have grown up and moved away, the daughter is now a grandparent, the son is on a diet to control his high cholesterol, the mother is senile (possibly Alzheimer's) and the father has died.

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine in her review of the album called the song a "quirky kind of 'Pilgrim's Progress' set in the saga of a white-trash family.

She called it an "intriguing song that chronicles the life of a family in different stages; it uses vivid images that connect the listener to the lyric through the characters and cultural references."

She goes on to say that "Lawrence's delivery and Cook's production are right on target..."[5] The music video was directed by Marc Ball and premiered in March 1996.
