| I remember a young Johnny Cash waiting in the wings
|
| Cause he’d hand me his cigarette when he’d go out to sing
|
| And good ole Marshall Tucker Band back in 83
|
| Was a special night they asked me Come on out and play ‘Can't You See'
|
| Dolly was a teenage girl when I first me her wow
|
| Jerry Lee played rock n roll at my house and I’m proud
|
| I’m from the old school
|
| But I made up my own rules
|
| But I learned a thing or two
|
| From some pretty good teachers
|
| My education has served me well
|
| One look at me and you can tell my music’s true
|
| A class reunion of the blues
|
| I’m from the old school
|
| Well things were kinda rough at times I had to find my way
|
| Not exactly an overnight sensation like some are today
|
| Hey I’m a dinosaur that’s for sure but here’s what I gotta say
|
| To anyone that questions my credentials «Hi, I’m Hank»
|
| And I’m from the old school
|
| But I made up some new rules
|
| And you might learn a thing or two if ya hang around
|
| I’ll teach you to write and play n sing ‘em
|
| Take the guitars out and string ‘em
|
| We’ll make your music true
|
| A class reunion of the blues
|
| I’m from the old school
|
| And after all the songs are sang
|
| Let’s all stop and have a drink
|
| From my old bar stool
|
| Hey everybody here’s to the old school |
