He rattles his glass, she jumps up fast
And pours him a glass of tea
Deep in her heart she believes that's the way it should be
And I've seen my dad get fightin' mad
Over one little four-letter word
He'll tell you fast you don't talk like that around her
We may not see it the way they see it
We may not do it the way they see it

The way they do it
But she lives her life for him
He gladly died for her
Even in this modern age
It works
Though he's been down in his back
He still jumps out of that sack
He still jumps out of that sack

Every mornin' at 5 a.m.
Gravin' her home with the kids
Has been worth it to him
Yeah, she takes pride in bein' his wife
And makin' their house a home
Sometimes she wishes the world would just leave him alone
But she lives her life for him
And I've seen my dad get fightin' mad
Over one little four-letter word
He jumps up fast you don't talk like that around her


If the good Lord's willing, there will come a day
when our children will say,
We may not see it the way they see it.
We may not do it the way they do it.
When she gives her life for Him, He'd gladly die for her.
Even in this modern age, it works.
Even in this modern age, it works.
Even in this modern age, it works.
