Song Description

Don't be so quick to get rid of something when something new comes along.

Lyrics

Don't Fix What Ain't Broken

When I was young didn't need a key of my own,

Mama was always there when I got home

I could play outside till dinner time

And at the table every night

We'd say grace, then eat a home cooked meal

We didn't buy into those drive-thru deals

Some call it progress, I call it a shame

Man, I can't stand where things are goin'

I'd like to bring back the good old days

'cuz ya don't fix...ya don't fix what ain't broken

They say bigger is better, but I don't agree
Wanna raise my children, in the same small town as me
Where they'll grab some worms, a bamboo pole
Ride their bikes to the fishing hole
But it 's changing everyday, nothing here is safe
They just built a freeway a half mile from the lake

(Repeat Chorus)

I'll drive this old truck, till the day she dies
Get down on my knees and pray every night
I'm still holding tight, to my first wife,
(spoken) 'cuz you don't mess with something if it's working, right...
(Repeat Chorus)

no, this ain't progress, I think it's a shame
