� Quarterin' a payphone, dryin' laundry on the line Watchin' sun, tea in the window, pocket watch, my tail in 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'd take a long red McNally, stand in 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 a tree Hey, whatever happened to waitin' your turn, doin' 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 You had something to say, you'd write it on a piece of paper Then you'd put a stamp on it, and they'd get it three days later The boys would call the girls, and the girls would turn them down Stayin' married was the only way to work your problems out Hey, whatever happened to waitin' your turn, doin' 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 Automatic Automatic Let's throw the windows down, windows with the crates Come on, let's take a picture, you kinda gotta shake Hey, whatever happened to waitin' your turn, doin' 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 Automatic
