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
