John Anderson - 1959

^CCigarettes were a quarter then, bobby socks and jeans were in, Elvis sang the songs that we loved ^Dm7so, ^Gand the ^Dm7most important ^Gthing to us, ^Dm7was keeping gas in ^Gmy old truck, ^Dm7so I could take us ^Gto the drive in ^Cshow.

^CThen graduation finally came, Uncle Sam called me away, you married someone else while I was ^Dm7gone, ^Gbut I've ^Dm7kept your letter ^Gall these years, ^Dm7and I can't help but ^Gshed a tear, when I ^Dm7read the words you ^Gwrote me years ^Cago.

^CBaby I'm ^Bbyours, ^FI'll love you ^Calways, I'm gonna ^Bbstand by you ^Funtil the end of ^Ctime, remember ^Bball of the good things ^Fthat we shared to ^Cgether, signed, love ^BbBetty, ^Fnineteen fifty ^Cnine.

^CI never will forget the day, when you and I went all the way, I was the first for you, and you for ^Dm7me, ^GI've still ^Dm7got the truck that ^Gwe loved in, it ^Dm7takes me back there ^Gnow and then, ^Dm7back to g C fifty nine in my memo ry.
