Quarter in a payphone, drying laundry on the line
|
Watching Santi in the window
|
But I can't watch, the telling town
|
Seems like only yesterday, I 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 Eastern dress
|
We take a long array McMally,
|
Stand in the line to pay for gas
|
God knows the shifts and gears,
|
Ain't what it used to be
|
I learned to drive that 55,
|
Just like a Queen, three on the tree!
|
|
Chorus:
|
Hey, whatever happened to,
|
Wait in 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 seemed 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 'em down
|
Staying married was on the way to work your problems out.
|
|
Chorus:
|
Hey, whatever happened to,
|
Wait in 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 seemed so good the way we had it
|
Back before everything became
|
Automatic!
|
|
Let's roll the windows down
|
Windows with the ...
|
Come on, let's take a picture
|
The kind they gotta shape!
|
|
Chorus:
|
Hey, whatever happened to,
|
Wait in 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 seemed so good the way we had it
|
Back before everything became
|
Automatic!
