Automatic Letra

Pocket watch for, tellin’ time
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 buy an easter dress
We take a long a Ran McMally, stand in the line to pay for gas
God knoes his shifts and gears, ain't what it used to be
I learned to drive that 55, just like a Queen, three on the tree

Hey whatever happened to, waitin your turn
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
In 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 now
Saying married was on the only way to work your problems out

Hey whatever happened to, waiting your turn
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
In all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic
Automatic

Let's pull the windows down
The Windows with the cranks
Come on let's take a picture
The kind they gotta shake

Hey whatever happened to, waiting your turn
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
In all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic
