I had my rent-a-car flyin' down a two-lane road

That's when I saw the old man
Fm C# D#
He was kicked back workin' on a big R D
Fm C#
Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV
G# D# C#
Took him awhile to even notice me

Sittin' there I thought to myself
CHORUS:

Old man (Old Man)

You got one up on me

I'm still lookin' for my shady tree

With your two gas pumps and your color TV

Your satisfied as you can be

Well he finally strolled over with a big 'ol smile

Said "How ya doin, son?"

I said "Give me five dollars worth as fast as you can.....
F# C# G#
...'cause I'm really in a run."
Fm C# D#
He said "What's your hurry on a day like this?....
Fm C#
If you move too fast, there's a lot you'll miss.....

If you wanna see what the good life is.....

Just get out and visit awhile."
