作曲：Adam Harvey/Rod Mccormack/Jerry Salley

Today grandad came by the office

Amazed at all the papers that I sign

I told him that's how we do business

Just a product of doum these modden times

He shook his head and then said I don't understand

How all these deals are done

It just don't make no sense to me

To deal with people we don't see

We did it so much differently

When I was young

When the shake of a hand was all you really needed

The strength of a man was in his word

And you could look him in his eye

And know just where you stand

A man was made on the shake of a hand

Well I put my pen down and closed up early

We drank a beer and talked the times he had

He reminised when he proposed to nana

And how he got permission from her dad

He smiled and said I won't forget

The hardest hand I ever had to shake

I told him I'd take car of her

And through the years I've kept my word

Son we said just what we meant back in those days

When the shake of a hand was all you really needed

The strength of a man was in his word

And you could look him in his eye

And know just where you stand

A man was made on the shake of a hand

A shake of a hand was all you really needed

The strength of a man was in his word

And you could look him in his eye

And know just where you stand

A man was made on the shake of a hand

A man was made on the shake of a hand
