Old Ways Lyrics by The Oakridge Boys
The Oakridge Boys Lyrics
My grandaddy's daddy settled down here on this land
A mule forty acres and two willing hands
Worked this timber turned to lumber, built the house where I was raised
And he did it all because he was taught the old ways
By the time my daddy started passing down these tools to me
They were time tested tried and true family legacies
Save the seeds out of the garden. Let the bible lead your way
Lord I am thankful he passed down the old ways
Well hard times are hard but they make you who you are
And the lessons that we've learned along the way
Are meant to be used often
Lest they be forgotten
Life ain't always made of good old days
And I'm a proud member of the old ways
Daddy crossed over in the spring of ninety-five
He left it on my shoulders to keep it all alive
Though I feel like a stranger in this fast and modern age
I live a life of passing round and handing down the old ways
Well hard times are hard but they make you who you are
And the lessons that we've learned along the way
Are meant to be used often
Lest they be forgotten
Life ain't always made of good old days
And I'm a proud member of the old ways
And I'm a proud member of the old ways
