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
Chucker Band back in '83

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

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