[Verse 1]
Yeah, back in the high school, yeah, they're so cool
Letterman jackets in the parkin' lot
Draggin' on a Camel light, back behind the Five and Dime
Prayin' that they never get caught
Everybody's gonna fish fry Saturday night
'Cause if you call one, gotta call 'em all
Cruisin' down the main street, driving through the Dairy Queen
Ain't got a Wal-Mart, ain't got a mall

[Chorus]
We're old school, small town stickin' around
Just like folks used to, good ol' boys and girls
Just fallin' in love, livin' the life, yeah
Middle of nowhere feels about right
Keepin' it old school, just the way we like

[Verse 2]
Married by 19, two pawn shop rings
Ain't a big city, but it sure is nice
Blue collar, six pack, work hard, laid back
Sittin' on the front porch, drive on by
Pickin' on a six string, livin' on a shoestring
Ain't got much, but we don't care
Needle on a record don't get any better
Like whoa, baby, we're halfway there

[Chorus]
We're old school, small town stickin' around
Just like folks used to, good ol' boys and girls
Just fallin' in love, livin' the life, yeah
Middle of nowhere feels about right
Keepin' it old school, just the way we like

[Chorus]
Everybody say old school, small town stickin' around
Just like folks used to, good ol' boys and girls
Just fallin' in love, livin' the life, yeah
Middle of nowhere, feels about right
Keepin' it old school, just the way we like
Yeah, we're kickin' it old school, it's a small town stickin' around
Just like folks used to, good ol' boys and girls
Just fallin' in love, livin' the life, yeah
Middle of nowhere, feels about right
Keepin' it old school, just the way we like

[Outro]
Old school
Old school

The familiar maxim of the triple threat – singer, songwriter, musician – doesn’t begin to cover it for Toby Keith, one of the modern era’s most complete self-directed hit makers. Keith’s most recent months are a remarkable representation of his entire career. He kicks off 2019 with a new single “That’s Country Bro” – a sprint down a country icon heritage trail, delivered with the kind of wit and polish that led to Keith being a 2015 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee. His current tour, aptly named Toby Keith That’s Country Bro! Tour, brings him to cities across North America. In 2018, he celebrated the 25th anniversary of his debut No. 1 single, “Should’ve Been A Cowboy” with the re-release of his debut album (remastered with three additional vault tracks), a week of events in Nashville including a BMI event to honor the milestone, two shows at the historic Grand Ole Opry, and a performance at the Nashville Symphony Ball where he received the prestigious Harmony Award. Keith also released his song, “Don’t Let The Old Man In,” which was inspired by a conversation with Clint Eastwood and featured in Eastwood’s movie, “The Mule.” Rounding out his music-related accomplishments is his Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic fundraising event. Celebrating its sweet 16th year in 2019, that annual bash has brought in a total of $12.4 million to support the charitable endeavors of The Toby Keith Foundation which includes aiding sick children and their families in Oklahoma.
