Intro: x2 Quarter in a payphone Drying laundry on the line Watching sun tea in the window Pocket watch for telling time Seems like only yesterday I'd get a blank cassette Record the Country Countdown 'Cos I couldn't buy it yet If we drove all the way to Dallas Just to buy an Easter dress We'd take along a Rand McNally Stand in line to pay for gas God knows that shifting gears Ain't what it used to be I learned to drive that '55 Just like a Queen three on the trip Hey whatever happened to Waiting your turn Doing it all by hand 'Cos 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 in on a piece of paper And you'd 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 whatever happened to Waiting your turn Doing it all by hand 'Cos 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 Automatic Lets's roll the windows down Windows with the cranks Come on let's take a picture The kind you gotta shake Hey whatever happened to Waiting your turn Doing it all by hand 'Cos 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 Automatic Outro:
