Lyrics

(F)Quar ter in a pay phone, dry in’ laun dry on the line, watch in’ sun tea in the win dow, pock et watch a tell in’ time.

(F)Seems like on ly yes ter day I’d get a blank cas sette, re cord the coun try count down ’cause I (Bb)could n’t buy it yet.

If we drove all the way to Dal las just to buy an Eas ter dress, we’d take a long a Rand Mc Nal ly, stand in line to pay for gas.

God (F)knows that shift in’ gears ain’t what it used to be; I learned to drive that Fif ty five just like a queen, three on a tree.

(F)Hey, what ev er hap pened to

wait in’ your turn,

do in’ it all by hand?

’Cause when ev ’ry thing is hand ed to you,

it’s on ly worth

as much as the time you put in.

It all just seems so good the way we had it

(Eb)back be fore ev ’ry thing be (Bb)came

If (F)you had some thin’ to say, you’d write it on a piece of pa per.

Then you’d (Eb)put a stamp on it and they’d (Bb)get it three days lat er.

The (F)boys would call the girls

and girls would turn them down.

Stay in’ (Eb)mar ried was the on ly way to work your prob lems out.

Come on, let’s take a pic ture, the kind you got ta shake.

(F)Hey, what ev er hap pened to

wait in’ your turn,

’Cause when ev ’ry thing is hand ed to you,

it’s on ly worth

as much as the time you put in.

It all just seems so good the way we had it
