Automatic (vocal)

Текст песни Party Tyme - Automatic (vocal)

Quarter in a payphone, drying laundry on a line
Watching Sunday in the window, pocket watch telling 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 around 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 the tree

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

If you had somethin' 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, the 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
'Cause when everything is handed to you
It's only worth as much as the time put in
It all just seemed so good the way we had it
Back before everything became automatic, yeah
Automatic

Let'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
'Cause when everything is handed to you
It's only worth as much as the time put in
It all just seemed so good the way we had it
Back before everything became automatic, yeah
Automatic
