Old Back in the New School

What’s wrong with saying yes sir, saying yes ma’am

A hard day’s work

Showing up pretty much on time

What’s wrong with waiting your turn

Paying your dues

Keeping your word

Looking a man right in the eye

You wear your pants down around your knees

But that don’t mean a thing to me

Just put a little old back in the new school

Get that working man back on the bar stool

Just ‘cause something’s hip

Don’t make it cool

Let’s put a little old back in the new school

I don’t mind some attitude

A rebel heart

Hell, I got one too

But you still gotta walk the line

I don’t care what you listen too

How you wear hair

You can paint blue

Hey it takes all kinds

Johnny rocked and Willie rolled

They just did with a lot more soul

Just put a little old back in the new school

Get that working man back on the bar stool

Just ‘cause something’s hip

Don’t make it cool

Let’s put a little old back in the new school

My Grandpa just turned 83

I hope some of him rubbed off on me

He’s still cooler than I’ll ever be

Just put a little old back in the new school

Get that working man back on the bar stool

Just ‘cause something’s hip

Don’t make it cool

Let’s put a little old back in the new school

Yeah I might be young

But I ain’t no fool

Let’s put a little old back in the new school

The new school
