Lyrics In My Book - Shenandoah

Teachers are teaching that anything goes
Preachers are worried about stepping on toes
The truth is right there under their nose
In my book
Everybody's got somebody to blame
Don't wanna own up to anything
That's the good Lord's loss and the devil's gain
In my book

In my book there's a right and a wrong way
It's either white or it's black but it ain't gray
You reap what you sow just like you should
In my book there's ten rules we oughta live by
Oughta know it by heart, by knee high
Why not, can't hurt man, it's all good
In my book

Mamas and daddies are a-working machines
Turnkey kids are turning to strings
But life ain't about material things
In my book
Sex and drugs are out of control
And they're taking our babies and taking their toll
That ain't no way to be saving a soul
In my book

In my book there's a right and a wrong way
It's either white or it's black but it ain't gray
You reap what you sow just like you should
In my book there's ten rules we oughta live by
Oughta know it by heart, by knee high
Why not, can't hurt man, it's all good
In my book

It's either white or it's black but it ain't gray
You reap what you sow just like you should
In my book there's ten rules we oughta live by
Oughta know it by heart, by knee high
Why not, can't hurt man, it's all good
In my book

In my book
