Intro

Verse

 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 R C

Watchin' Gomer Pyle on his little TV

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

 Old Man (Old Man)

 I guess you got one up on me

Verse

 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."

REPEAT CHORUS

Bridge

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 R. C.

REPEAT CHORUS

 ...Old Man

..You got one up on me Old Man

REPEAT SAME CHORDS AND FADE(F#, D#m)
