Alabama Old Man Lyrics

Old Man Lyrics

Old Man

Alabama

Album: Just Us



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

Late for my plane again

Had to stop for some gas at this country store

That's when I saw the old man



He was kicked back workin' on a big RC

Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV

Took him awhile to even notice me

Sittin' there I thought to myself



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

Old man (Old man) I guess you got one up on me



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...

'Cause I'm really in a run."

He said "What's your hurry on a day like this?

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."



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

Old man (Old man) I guess you got one up on me



Don't remember just what it was 

The old man said to me

But I forgot about catchin' the plane 

And opened up the big RC



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

Old man (Old man) you got one up on me



Old man



Old man



Old man



Old man



Old man you got one up on me...
