Out of Style

  • When I first got to Nashville town
    They called me in and sat me down
    And told me all about the ins and outs of writing songs
    Said write about the things you know about
    If there's anything that you don't know about
    Just stick around and you'll find out before too long

    So I pulled out my guitar and I put my pen to paper
    Started working on the groove
    They could move to all night long
    Yeah, I poured out my heart and soul
    Strummed a chord, next thing you know
    I looked down and then I had this song

    And it goes
    Jesus saves and beer's better cold
    A good woman's made to love not just to hold
    Monday through Friday sure takes awhile
    We all get sideways and go that extra mile
    The common ways we work and play
    Are still alive and well today
    Don't need to find a new way to say
    We don't go out of style

    It may never see a bullet
    In a billboard magazine
    But then I've never been the kind
    To go out chasing smoking guns
    All I know is all of us tonight
    Know all the words and we're acting like
    It'll be a week before the weekend's done

    Singing, Jesus saves and beer's better cold
    A good woman's made to love not just to hold
    Monday through Friday sure takes awhile
    We all get sideways and go that extra mile
    The common ways we work and play
    Are still alive and well today
    Don't need to find a new way to say
    We don't go out of style

    Singing, Jesus saves and beer's better cold
    A good woman's made to love not just to hold
    Monday through Friday sure takes awhile
    We all get sideways and go that extra mile
    The common ways we work and play
    Are still alive and well today
    Don't need to find a new way to say
    We don't go out of style

    Yeah, the common ways we work and play
    Are still alive and well today
    Don't need to find a new way to say
    We don't go out of style

    Yeah
    Ain't going out of style
    Yeah, no
    Get me one of those cold beers Writer/s: JEFF HYDE, LYNN HUTTON, NEIL MASON
