Old School

82001 Michael D. Renneker & Rhonda M. Renneker

I=m in tune with the rhythm of the sun

I like to get up early and get things done

I try to do an honest days work

If things don=t go my way, I won=t be a jerk

I get home at quarter past six

my wife is there to greet me at the door with a kiss       

the kids all tell me what happened today

then dinner=s on the table and we say grace

some say I=m out there but I don=t mind

it=s true I=m from another place, and time

Chorus

I=m old school

I believe in playin by the rules

I believe in yes ma=am, yes sir, how do you do

and I believe the good book is true

well I=m old school

I ain=t a whiner and my mama didn=t raise no fool

I=m as good as my word

and I swear allegiance to the old school

I won=t spend if I ain=t got the money

My friends with their credit cards all look at me funny

There isn=t any hurry to always have more                                                                    

and I don=t mind waitin= if it=s worth waiting for

I don=t need a million dollar house

My fortunes don=t rise or fall with the click of a mouse

I=m truly grateful for the things I=ve got

and I try to be cheerful, even if  I=m not

What about my liberation?

well I=m free to represent another generation

Chorus

Life has been an education

I=m gonna pass it on to another generation
