Behind The Times

[Verse 1]

The bill on his old ball cap

Was bent like an A-frame house

We're sittin' on a park bench

With some Beech-Nut in his mouth

Said, "No one reads the paper

These days, it's all online"

But there he was, behind the times

[Verse 2]

He looked up from the front page

Said, "This world's done gone to hell

I usually don't talk politics

But as far as I can tell

We could use another Reagan

Boy, he was one of a kind"

Then he shook his head, behind the times

[Chorus]

And he said, "Son, you're still young

Save half of what you make

Trust the Lord, go buy a Ford

Or at least a Chevrolet

When you find a good girl, keep her

'Cause they don't grow on vines"

Yeah, a man can learn a lot

From a man behind the times

[Verse 3]

He said, "I've only kissed one woman

We went to church on our first date

I held the door, I held her hand

Back when free love was the rage

I waited 'til the honeymoon

And that suited me just fine

I guess I was behind the times"

[Chorus]

And he said, "Son, you're still young

But trust me when I say

Go hug your mama, 'cause boy, I promise

You'll wish you could one day

When you find a good girl, keep her

'Cause they don't grow on vines"

Yeah, a man can learn a lot

From a man behind the times

[Verse 4]

He folded up that paper

Said, "I better get on home

I don't wanna keep her waitin'

She's got supper on

When you find a good girl, keep her

Just like I did mine"

Yeah, a man can learn a lot

From a man behind the times

Yeah, man, I learned a lot

Form that man behind the times

[Outro]
