Lyrics:
DO THE RIGHT THING
Back in our old neighborhood
Where we spent our youth
We'd run around doing what kids have always done
The future was a mystery
Out in the distance somewhere
All we wanted to do was play and have fun
We tried to do the right thing
Whether it was known or not
That's how we were all raised
Back then we never gave it a second thought
But it wasn't always easy
To take the straight and narrow road
Or play by the rules with integrity
There were many among us
Who lived their lives that way
Chose character over popularity
CHORUS
What happened to those good old days
When we all helped each other
And tried to live our lives
With truth and honor
CHORUS
WE tried to do the right thing
