Lyrics

Granpappy didn't care much for the Beatles or the Stones
He told his son "Hank's still the one, or that new kid called George Jones"
My daddy tried "Eight Days a Week", but "Got No Satisfaction"
But gradually in time Granpappy warmed to the attraction
(And he said)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me
Sometimes your daddy finds it hard to see
Things change quickly, and you are changing too
I can't believe that you've grown so fast
Sometimes I get stuck in the past
So teach me to learn, the way that I taught you

And things weren't all that different when I bought my first CD
My dad just laughed,said: "It wont last, it's a gimmick son, you'll see"
He stuck with his old 45's as they crackled, skipped and hissed
But gradually in time he came to see just what he'd missed
(And he said)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me
Sometimes your daddy finds it hard to see
Things change quickly, and you are changing too
I can't believe that you've grown so fast
Sometimes I get stuck in the past
So teach me to learn, the way that I taught you

Like an old musician
Can learn the latest licks
With the right tuition
Old dogs can still be taught new tricks
(And he said)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me
Sometimes your daddy finds it hard to see
Things change quickly, and you are changing too
I can't believe that you've grown so fast
Sometimes I get stuck in the past
So teach me to learn, the way that I taught you
