Old School

I re[D]member a young [G]Johnny Cash [D]waiting in the wings
Cuz [D]he'd hand me his ciga[G]rette when [D]he'd go out to [A]sing

And the [G]good old Marshall [A]Tucker Band [D]back in '8[G]3
Was a [G]special night, they asked me come on out and play Can't You [A]See
[D]Darlene was a [G]teenage girl [D]when I first met her, wow
[D]Jerry Lee played [G]rock 'n' roll at [D]my house and I'm [A]proud

I'm from the [D]old school but I made up my [G]own rules
But I [A]learned a thing or two from some pretty good [D]teachers
My [D]education has served me well, one look at [G]me and you could tell my musics [Em]true
The class re[A]union from the blues, I'm from the [D]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
To 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
