Call Me Old-fashioned

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
