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 cla** 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 Cla** 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
