Lyrics
I like things just the way they are Don't redefine marriage, you're going too far Life begins as a precious stem cell I know how to empty that jail 'Cause I'm done paying your sorry rent Time for some more capital punishment

Let's just keep everything the same Gonna pray at the start of every football game You lefties have just taken things too far So leave it alone 'Cause I like things just the way they are

I like things just the way they were You could smoke in restaurants and wear fur You shoot some men up into space And everyone knew their rightful place We won wars and we stood strong We knew what was right and what was wrong

Let's just keep everything the same Gonna pray at the start of every football game You lefties have just taken things too far So leave it alone 'Cause I like things just the way they are

I like cool country mornings Spray cheese in my mouth Let's keep everything pure Just like the South

Let's just keep everything the same Gonna pray at the start of every football game You lefties have just taken things too far So leave it alone 'Cause I like things just the way they are

Yeah, I like things Just the way they are
