Contracts, don't need 'em
Not worth their weight in sand
Make a deal with me, it's good when
I shake you by the hand
A bond that's like no other
Only two good men can make
Is formed when they agree and
They give their hands a shake
Give me your hand brother
Grip it nice and firm
Look me in the eye son,
And this is where you'll learn
A man with a strong handshake
Is a man who'll seal the deal
So, grab my hand, hold firmly
And show me what I say is real
No fancy city lawyers
No judges making deals
A handshake strong and firm
You know the deal is real
Two men, their reputations
Out there laying on the line
Committed by a handshake
And to me, that is just fine
Give me your hand brother
Grip it nice and firm
Look me in the eye son,
And this is where you'll learn
A man with a strong handshake
Is a man who'll seal the deal
So, grab my hand, hold firmly
And show me what I say is real

Give me your hand brother

And this is where you'll learn
A man with a strong handshake

So, grab my hand, hold firmly
And show me what I say is real
No fancy city lawyers
No judges making deals
A handshake strong and firm
You know the deal is real
Two men, their reputations
Out there laying on the line
Committed by a handshake
And to me, that is just fine
Give me your hand brother
Grip it nice and firm
Look me in the eye son,
And this is where you'll learn
A man with a strong handshake
Is a man who'll seal the deal
So, grab my hand, hold firmly
And show me what I say is real
