Sometimes I feel that I was born at the wrong time
Yeah I been told that I got an old soul
'Cuz everything seemed so much better back then
From T. V. Shows to good old rock'n roll
But I believe that there's a bigger picture
And things happen the way they're supposed to
And if I'd come around at the wrong time
Oh Baby, I wouldn't have met you

People seemed more civil in the old days
And we learned what was wrong and what was right

And we knew how to make a little go a long ways
And we sang with our families at night
Every generation thinks the one before
Had it a little better than they do
But if I've been born at the wrong time
Oh Baby I wouldn't have met you

I'd have gone to Woodstock in the sixties
Or fronted a big band in '42
But if I'd been around at the wrong time
Oh Baby, I wouldn't have met you
Oh no Baby, I wouldn't have met you
