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
