Lyrics

Verse1:
Those kids can, go ahead and pass me by, I understand
They move fast, I'm not built like that
Teacher thank you for your patience by my side
When I fail at this school or in life

PreChorus:
I don't see any trophies on these walls that I could earn
I'm no prom king but so far here's what I've learned

Chorus:
I care more about how you treat me
Than gold medals, bein' cool, A's and B's
They never helped no one, help someone (oh oho ho)
My heart is wiser than a PhD
Y'say I make this world the kind of place you wanna be
Of all the things you teach me
I learn more from how you treat me

Verse 2:
I heard there's another life you could have chosen
Travelin' round the world somethin' important
'Stead of snap shoes, black suit, an office in the sky
You smile at me and explain The Catcher in The Rye

PreChorus:
That little Ford is no Ferrari in your parking spot
There's no weekly reservation at the country club spa, maybe

Chorus:
You care more about how you treat me
Than fancy clothes, fast cars, and fine cuisine
They never helped no one, help someone
Your heart is wiser than a PhD
Cuz you make this world the kinda' place I wanna be
Of all the things you teach me
I learn most from how you treat me

Bridge:
Down the road when you meet your maker
He's gonna count those pictures on the wall
He's gonna count them all, because


Chorus:
God cares more about how you treat me than gold medals, bein' cool, A's and B's
They never helped no one, help someone
Your heart is wiser than a PhD, 'cuz you make this world the kind of place with some dignity
Of all the things you'll teach me, I'll remember how you treat me
