I saw a pretty girl, her hands all full, headed in the store
So I stepped back, tipped my hat, and opened up the door
Just being polite, she thought it strange
She smiled at me and said, "Times have changed
Guys don't do that kind of thing anymore"
Being a gentleman might be out of style these days
Might not be cool when being a fool is all the rage
But it's in my blood, it's what I know, how I was raised
Man, this is who I am
A faded jean, farmer tan, work boots, callous hand, red neck, blue collar
Hard-working gentleman
Well long story short, of course, I had to ask her out
Show her what my old-fashioned ways are all about
I still hear her laugh at me when I got down there on one knee
It's funny 'cause the thing she loves most about me now
Is being a gentleman might be out of style these days
Might not be cool when being a fool is all the rage
But it's in my blood, it's what I know, how I was raised
Man, this is who I am
A faded jean, farmer tan, work boots, callous hand, red neck, blue collar
Hard-working gentleman
So I guess that's why I'm here, telling you this, son
The time is gonna come when you'll meet someone
Being a gentleman might be out of style these days
Might not be cool when being a fool is still all the rage
But it's in your blood, it's what you know, how you were raised
So son, if you can
Be a gentleman
A gentleman
