Have you ever stumbled upon a hidden gem that just needed the right moment to shine? Well, that's exactly what happened with the catchy tune “Kicking It.” Originally crafted as the theme song for the 2007 WB TV series pilot “Moonlight,” this upbeat track unfortunately never hit the airwaves. However, it did find its way onto the DVD release in 2010.
Before being revived, “Kicking It” found a cozy home in a few independent films and shorts, yet it remained largely under the radar—until now! While piecing together tracks for the highly anticipated 45th Anniversary Anthology album, Brian made an exciting discovery: a nearly complete country rendition he had re-composed years ago for a friend's birthday celebration. With a bit of digital magic, he overdubbed some backing vocals and dusted off this long-forgotten treasure.
The result? The first worldwide release of “Kicking It”, ready to welcome listeners old and new! So, whether you’re a longtime admirer or just embarking on your musical journey, this delightful track is poised to charm its way into your heart.

Lyrics
Mow the lawn, wash the car
And I better not think to wander too far
It’s just one of them days
A ten-foot list of Honey-Do’s
Change a light bulb and change a blown-out fuse
Puts my mind in a haze
Well, my part-time job as handyman
Is starting to come to an end
Chorus
I’ll start a-Kicking it
With a cold beer in my hand
Trying not to understand
The nagging in my ears
Take the kids to Sunday school
Rush on home to clean the pool
And we’re shopping again
Stumble around with both arms full
Peeking around the kitchen rolls
Short of popping a vein
Well, with all this work, it sure ain’t no wonder
She’ll outlive me by a little bit longer
Chorus 2x
Well, with all this work, it sure ain’t no wonder
She’ll outlive me by a little bit longer
Chorus
