^CQuarter in a payphone Drying laundry on the line Watching ^Bbsun tea in the window Pocket ^Fwatch for telling time

^CSeems like only yesterday I'd get a blank cassette Rec^Bbord the Country Countdown 'Cos I ^Fcouldn't buy it yet

If we drove ^Call the way to Dallas Just to buy an Easter dress We'd take al^Bbong a Rand McNally Stand in ^Fline to pay for gas

God ^Cknows that shifting gears Ain't what it used to be I learned to ^Bbdrive that '55 Just like a ^FQueen three on a tree

If ^Cyou had something to say You'd write in on a piece of paper And you'd ^Bbput a stamp on it And they'd ^Fget it three days later

^CBoys would call the girls And girls would turn them down Staying ^Bbmarried was the only way To ^Fwork your problems out

^CHey whatever happened to^F Waiting your tu^Amrn Doing it al^Fl by hand 'Cos when ^Ceverything is handed to yo^Fu It's only wo^Amrth as much as the tim^Fe you put in It ^Bball just seems so good the way we h^Fad it ^BbBack before everything bec^Fame, Autom^Catic, ye^Fah ^Am ^F Auto^Cmatic ^F ^Am ^F

Lets's ^Croll the windows down Windows with the cranks Come ^Bbon let's take a picture The ^Fkind you gotta shake

^CHey whatever happened to^F Waiting your tu^Amrn Doing it al^Fl by hand 'Cos when ^Ceverything is handed to yo^Fu It's only wo^Amrth as much as the tim^Fe you put in It ^Bball just seems so good the way we h^Fad it Bb F C F ^AmBac^Fk before everything became, Automatic, yeah Auto^Cmatic
