Old Yeller (3:05)

OLD YELLER
Garre LaGrone

VERSE ONE
SOME SAY I’M OLD FASHIONED
BUT, I’LL NEVER CHANGE MY WAYS
SO, CALL ME OLD SCHOOL, CALL ME BACKWARDS
BUT, I’M PROUD OF THE WAY I WAS RAISED
I STILL HOLD THE DOOR FOR A LADY
AND I STILL SAY “YES MA’AM” TO MY MOTHER
AND I CAN’T LIE, I STILL CRY
EVERY TIME THEY HAVE TO SHOOT OLD YELLER

CHORUS
AND PRIDE WELLS UP IN ME
WHEN I HEAR “THE HAG” SING
THE “FIGHTIN’ SIDE OF ME”
‘CAUSE, I THANK GOD FOR MY FREEDOM
AND I COUNT MY BLESSINGS
WHEN I THINK OF HIS AMAZING GRACE
AND I BELIEVE THE WORDS IN RED WHERE IT SAYS
WE’RE ALL S’POSED TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER
AND I CAN’T LIE, I STILL CRY
EVERY TIME THEY HAVE TO SHOOT OLD YELLER

VERSE TWO
WELL, I GUESS I’M NARROWED MINDED,
FOR THINKIN’ THE WAY I THINK
THAT YOUR WORD IS YOUR BOND
THERE’S RIGHT AND THERE’S WRONG
AND ALL LIVES MATTER, TO ME
AND I THINK A MAN OUGHT’A WORK IF HE’S ABLE
AND KIDS SHOULD RESPECT THEIR ELDERS
AND I CAN’T LIE, I STILL CRY
EVERY TIME THEY HAVE TO SHOOT OLD YELLER

REPEAT CHORUS, TAG: SEEN IT A HUNDRED TIMES, BUT I STILL CRY…
