about

This song just came to me outta nowhere on the morning of my son's 16th birthday. Never got around to recording a demo of it until now. Hope you like it. As always, appreciate your comments...JD

lyrics

Do unto others
As you would have 'em do to you
Respect your mother
And your old man too
Be a lover, not a fighter
And don’t you be rude
Make dark times brighter
By being a good dude

Don't be a hater
That’s such a waste
Be an elevator
For the human race
Don't take the low road
Hold your altitude
Up on that high road
And be a good dude

Everybody loves a good dude
Somebody who shows class
Better to have 'em respect you
Than wanting to kick your ass
So once you've read this letter
I hope you will conclude
Life is so much better
Whenever you're a good dude

Help out your brothers
Who need a helping hand
Be there for others
Whenever you can
Be a giver, not a taker
This ain't some platitude
Life is so much greater
When you're a good dude

Everybody loves a good dude
Somebody who shows class
Better to have 'em respect you
Than wanting to kick your ass
So once you've read this letter
I hope you will conclude
Life is so much better
Whenever you're a good dude
