A simple man in this modern age
Yeah it might look like I'm a little out of place
With this generation all about the here and now
Move so fast they never take a good look around
Everybody's worried about progress
Well that's not how I measure my success
I'm not telling you the way it should be
I just know what works for folks like me
Chorus
I grew up with callus on my hands
A way of life some folks don't understand
Cause I pray at every meal and follow the golden rule
Yes sir, yes ma'am, educated old school
People say how times have changed
Well I'm not living like it was yesterday
All I'm saying is what I've learned I won't forget
So what you see is what you get
Repeat Chorus
There'll be temptation down the road
But I'll remember what daddy told me
He said son you gotta play it how you feel
And just always keep it real
Repeat Chours
