Old School Songtext / Lyric

I remember a young Johnny Cash waiting in the ways

Cuz he'd hand me his cigarette when he'd go out to sing

And the good old Marshall Tucker Band back in '83

Was a special night, they asked me come on out and play Can't You See

Dolly was a teenage girl when I first met 'er, wow

Jerry Lee played rock 'n' roll at my house and I'm proud



I'm from the old school

But I made up my own rules

But I learned a thing or two from some pretty good teachers

My education has served me well

One look at me and you could tell my music's true

The class reunion from The Blues

I'm from the old school






Well things were kinda rough at times

I had to find my way

Not exactly an overnight sensation like some are today

Hey I'm a dinosaur, that's for sure

But here's what I gotta say

Too anyone who questions my credentials. Hi, I'm Hank



And I'm from the old school

But I made up some new rules

And you might learn a thing or two if you hang around

I'll teach you to write and play and sing 'em

Take these guitars out and string 'em

It will make your music true

Class reunion of The Blues

I'm from the old school



And after all the songs I sing

Let's stop and have a drink from my old bar stool

Hey everybody, here's to the old school
