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
