[Verse 1]
The bill on his old ball cap
他的舊球帽上的帳單
Was bent like an A-frame house
像A型房屋一樣彎曲
We're sittin' on a park bench
我們坐在公園長椅上
With some Beech-Nut in his mouth
他嘴裡咬著山毛櫸堅果
Said, "No one reads the paper
他說「沒人讀報紙了」
These days, it's all online"
「現在這些都在網路上」
But there he was, behind the times
但是他依然活在那個落伍的時代
[Verse 2]
He looked up from the front page
他從報紙上抬起頭來
Said, "This world's done gone to hell
說「這個世界已經完蛋了」
I usually don't talk politics
「我通常不討論政治」
But as far as I can tell
「但據我所知」
We could use another Reagan
「我們可以用另一位雷根（指Ronald Wilson Reagan、第40任美國總統）」
Boy, he was one of a kind"
「男孩，他是其中一種典範」
Then he shook his head, behind the times
然後他搖搖頭，跟不上時代了
[Chorus]
And he said, "Son, you're still young
他說：「小子，你還年輕」
Save half of what you make
「節省一半的收入」
Trust the Lord, go buy a Ford
「相信主，去買一輛福特」
Or at least a Chevrolet
「或至少是雪佛蘭」
When you find a good girl, keep her
「當你找到一個好女孩時，好好保護她」
Cause they don't grow on vines"
「因為她們並非在葡萄樹上生長」
Yeah, a man can learn a lot
是的，一個人可以學到很多東西
From a man behind the times
從一個落後於時代的人
[Verse 3]
He said, "I've only kissed one woman
他說：「我只吻過一個女人」
We went to church on our first date
「我們第一次約會去了教堂」
I held the door, I held her hand
「我握住門，握住她的手」
Back when free love the rage
「回到自由戀愛時的憤怒」
I waited 'til the honeymoon
「我等到蜜月」
And that suited me just fine
「那恰好適合我」
I guess I was behind the times"
「我想我落後於時代了」
[Chorus]
And he said, "Son, you're still young
他說：「小子，你還年輕」
But trust me when I say

[Verse 4]
He folded up that paper
他把那報紙折疊起來
Said, "I better get on home

I don't wanna keep her waitin'
「我不想讓她等」
She's got supper on
「她該吃晚飯了」
When you find a good girl, keep her
「當你找到一個好女孩時，好好保護她」
Just like I did mine"
