[Verse 1:]
|
We said Yes Maam and Yes Sir, cuz a good whoopin still worked
|
And if we talked back, we got it again
|
Back when kids got in fights, they didn't use guns or knives
|
A bloody nose was as far as it went
|
And we all ate our suppers with a Daddy and a Mother
|
At the table without the t.v.
|
Yeah, thats how it was and thats how it still oughtta be
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Well the world was much safer, you could count on your neighbor
|
And a stranger was someone you just hadn't met yet
|
We trusted our preachers, our heroes and teachers
|
And believed every word that they said
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
There was no credit crunch and gas wasn't so much
|
And our jobs hadn't gone overseas
|
Yeah, thats how it was and thats how it still oughtta be
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Yeah, the world was much safer, you could cont on your neighbor
|
And a stranger was someone you just hadn't met yet
|
We trusted our preachers, our heroes and teachers
|
And believed every word that they said
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
We followed the good book, now every time I look back
|
I sure do like what I see
|
Yeah, thats how it was and thats how it still oughtta be.
|
Yeah, thats how it was and if you're askin me
|
Thats how it still.. oughtta be
|

That's How It Still Oughta Be
