The Shake Of A Hand

Tabbed by: Emrldeyzs VERSE 1: Today Granddad came by the office Amazed at all the papers that I sign I told him that's how we do business I'm just a product of modern times He shook his head and then said I don't understand how all these deals are done It just don't make no sense to me To deal with people you don't see We did it so much differently when I was young When the shake of a hand Was all you really needed The strength of a man was in his words When you could look him in the eye And know just where you stand Men were made on the shake of a hand VERSE 2: Well I put down my pen down and closed up early We drank a beer and talked of times he's had He reminisced when he proposed to Nanna And how he got permission from her dad He smiled and said I won't forget The hardest hand I ever had to shake I told him I'd take care of her And through the years I 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 words When you could look him in the eye And know just where you stand Men were made on the shake of a hand INSTR: CHORUS: The shake of a hand Was all you really needed The strength of a man was in his word When you could look him in the eye And know just where you stand Men were made on the shake of a hand Oh Men were made on the shake of a hand
