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 didnt 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
Well the world was much safer, you could count on your neighbor
And a stranger was someone you just hadnt met yet
We trusted our preachers, our heroes and teachers
And believed every word that they said
There was no credit crunch and gas wasnt so much
And our jobs hadnt gone overseas
Yeah, thats how it was and thats how it still oughtta be
Yeah, the world was much safer, you could cont on your neighbor
And a stranger was someone you just hadnt met yet
We trusted our preachers, our heroes and teachers
And believed every word that they said
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 youre askin me
Thats how it still.. oughtta be
