[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]
Behind the times
