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

And I believe in keeping a promise that I make

You've got my word on it

I'll 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

And 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

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

They're 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"

I wish kids still prayed in school before their classes

Oh, sometimes I shake myself and ask, "What happened?"

Call me old fashioned

Call me old fashioned
