I believe in making my money the hard way - so I work for it
|
And every job I do I do with pride
|
I believe in keeping a promise that I make - you've got my word on it
|
When I shake your hand and look you in the eye
|
I believe in my country and putting your hand over your heart
|
And taking off your hat when that anthem starts
|
|
Call me old fashioned
|
Call me out of touch for having faith in the way it was
|
When mom and pop was the place we shopped & a check was good for cashing
|
Call me out of style that's who I am when a neighbor's down I reach out my hand
|
I just can't turn my head and walk right past 'em
|
(And open up a ladies door without her asking)
|
Call me old fashioned
|
I believe a man should have to ask permission - for a woman's hand
|
Before he gets down on one knee
|
I believe in passing down traditions - every chance you can
|
So children learn what family means
|
And sitting round the supper table every night at six o'clock
|
Talking 'bout your day with the TV off
|
|
Call me old fashioned,
|
Call me out of touch for having faith in the way it was
|
When a golden band on someone's hand meant love was everlasting
|
Call me out of style that's who I am I believe kids need a mom and a dad
|
(And) Their worth working out any problems that you're having
|
Call me old fashioned
|
|
Call me out of style - that's who I am - I still say "yes sir and thank you ma'am"
|
And wish kids still prayed in school before their classes
|
Sometimes I shake my head and ask myself what happened?
|
Call me old fashioned
|
