I was raised on the bible and the belt
Taught to say yes sir and yes ma'm
Say the grace before you eat
Bow your head and take off your hat
I still believe in that

When neighbors weren't just neighbors
They were friends
You could count on them through thick and thin
To help chop the wood, cut the grass
Gave you the shirt right off their back
I still believe in that

When a handshake and your word
Was better than any piece of paper
And you made an honest living
From the fruits of your labor
When we all prayed to jesus
And we all pledged our allegiance to the flag
I still believe in that

Yeah, our heroes and our idols were homegrown
Didn't find 'em on no tv show
They were our teachers and our preachers
Our soldiers, moms, and dads
I still believe in that.

When a handshake and your word
Was better than any piece of paper
And you made an honest living
From the fruits of your labor
When we all prayed to jesus
And we all pledged our allegiance to the flag
I still believe in that

No i don't know where we're goin'
Or when we got off track
But there's a lot that we could learn from the past
I still believe in that
I still believe in that

I was raised on the bible and the belt
Taught to say yes sir and yes ma'm

I still believe in that
I still believe in that
I still believe in that
