Automatic

Quarter in a payphone
 Drying laundry on the line
 Watching sun tea in the window
 Pocket watch, tellin' time
 Seems like only yesterday, I'd get a blank cassette
 Record the country countdown, 'cause I couldn't buy it yet
 ♪
 If we drove all the way to Dallas just to buy an Easter dress
 We take a long Rand McNally, stand in the line to pay for gas
 God knows that shiftin' gears, ain't what it used to be
 I learned to drive that 55, just like a Queen, three on the tree
 Hey what ever happened to waitin' your turn
 Doing it all by hand
 'Cause when everything is handed to you
 It's only worth as much as the time you put in
 It all just seems so good the way we had it
 Back before everything became automatic
 ♪
 If you had something to say
 You'd write it on a piece of paper
 Then you put a stamp on it
 And they'd get it three days later
 Boys would call the girls
 And girls would turn them down
 Staying married was the only way to work your problems out
 Hey what ever happened to waitin' your turn
 Doing it all by hand
 'Cause when everything is handed to you
 It's only worth as much as the time you put in
 It all just seems so good the way we had it
 Back before everything became automatic, yeah

 Let's roll the windows down
 Windows with the cranks
 Come on, let's take a picture
 The kind you gotta shake
