| 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 |
