[Intro]
C F C F
 
 
[Verse 1]
C
The bill on his old ball cap
G
Was bent like an A-frame house
      Am           G
We're sittin' on a park bench
F
With some Beech-Nut in his mouth
C
Said, "No one reads the paper
G
These days, it's all online"
F                               C     F C F
But there he was, behind the times
 
 
[Verse 2]
   C
He looked up from the front page
 G
Said, "This world's done gone to hell
Am                   G
I usually don't talk politics
 F
But as far as I can tell
C
We could use another Reagan
G
Boy, he was one of a kind"
F                                       C
Then he shook his head, behind the times
 
 
[Chorus]
G                              F
And he said, "Son, you're still young
C
Save half of what you make
G                  F
Trust the Lord, go buy a Ford
       C
Or at least a Chevrolet
                              G
When you find a good girl, keep her
Am                           F
'Cause they don't grow on vines"
       C                   G
Yeah, a man can learn a lot
       F                  C    F
From a man behind the times
 
 
[Verse 3]
 C
He said, "I've only kissed one woman
G
We went to church on our first date
 Am                        G
I held the door, I held her hand
          F
Back when free love the rage
   C
I waited 'til the honeymoon
        G
And that suited me just fine
    F                         C
I guess I was behind the times"
 
 
[Chorus]
 G                              F
And he said, "Son, you're still young
      C
But trust me when I say
G                           F
Go hug your mama, 'cause boy, I promise
C
You'll wish you could one day
C                            G
When you find a good girl, keep her
 Am         A              F
'Cause they don't grow on vines"
       C
Yeah, a man can learn a lot
G        F                 Am F Am F
From a man behind the times
 
 
[Verse 4]
 G
He folded up that paper
      F                   C
Said, "I better get on home
   Am                   G
I don't wanna keep her waitin'
 F
She's got supper on
C
When you find a good girl, keep her
                    F
Just like I did mine"
                  C         G
Yeah, a man can learn a lot
F                          C
From a man behind the times
                          G
Yeah, man, I learned a lot
           F               C
Form that man behind the times
 
F                  C
Behind the times
