[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
The bill on his old ball cap
A
Is bent like an eight frame house
Bm A G
Sittin' on a park bench with some beach nut in his mouth
D
Said no one reads the paper,
A
These days it's all online
G A D
But there he was, behind the times
[Verse 2]
D
He looked up from his front page
A
Said this world's done gone to hell
Bm A G
Usually don't talk politics but as far as I can tell
D
We could use another Raegan
A
Boy he was one of a kind
G A D
He shook his head, behind the times
[Chorus 1]
A G D
He said, "Son you're still young, save half of what you make"
A G D
Trust the lord, go buy a Ford or at least a Cheverolet
D A G
When you find a good girl keep her, cause they don't grow on vines
D A D
Yeah a man can learn a lot from a man behind the times
[Verse 3]
D
He said I've only loved one woman
A
Went to church on our first date
Bm A G
I held the door, held her hand back when free love was a rage
D A
Waited til the honeymoon, that suited me just fine
G A D
Guess I was, behind the times
[Chorus 2]
A G D
He said, "Son you're still young, But trust me when I say"
A G D
Go hug your momma cause boy I promise you'll wish you could someday
D A G
When you find a good girl keep her, cause they don't grow on vines
D A G D
Yeah a man can learn a lot from a man behind the times
[Outro]
A G D
Yeah he folded up that paper said I better get on home
Bm A G
Don't wanna keep her waiting when she's got supper on
D A G
When you find a good girl keep her, just like I did mine
D A G A D
Yeah a man can learn a lot from a man behind the times
D A G A D
Yeah man I learned a lot from that man behind the times
[Instrumental]
G A D
