Behind The Times

The bill on his old ball cap is bent like an A-frame house

Sittin' on a park bench with some Beech-Nut in his mouth

Said, "No one reads the paper, these days it's all online"

There he was, behind the times

♪

He looked up from the front page, said, "This world's done gone to hell

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

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

♪

Said, "I've only kissed one woman, went to church on our first date

I held the door, I held her hand back when free love was the rage

Waited 'til the honeymoon, that suited me just fine

I guess I was behind the times"

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 gir, l keep her, 'cause they don't grow on vines"

Yeah, a man can learn a lot from a man behind the times

♪

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 from that man behind the times
