The Shake Of A Hand - Adam Harvey Lyrics
The Shake Of A Hand
amazed at all the papers that i sign
i told him thats how we do business
just a product of these modden(?) times
he shook his head and then said i dont understand
how all these deals are done
it just dont make no sense to me
to deal with people we dont see
we did it so much differently
when the shake of a hand was all you really needed
the strength of a man was in his word
and you could look him in his eye and know just where you stand
a man was made on the shake of a hand
well i put my pen down and closed up early
we drank a beer and talked the times he had
he reminised when he proposed to nana
and how he got permission from her dad
he smiled and said i wont forget the hardest hand i ever had to shake
i told him id take car of her and through the years ive kept my word
son we said just what we meant back in those days
when the shake of a hand was all you really needed
the strength of a man was in his word
and you could look him in his eye and know just where you stand
a man was made on the shake of a hand
a shake of a hand was all you really needed
the strength of a man was in his word
and you could look him in his eye and know just where you stand
a man was made on the shake of a hand
