Automatic- Miranda Lambert

Quarter in a pay phone
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 'cause 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 a 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 seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became automatic

If you had something to say you'd write it on a piece of paper
Put a stamp on it
And they'd get it three days later
Boys would call the girls
And 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
Because when everything is handed to you
It's only worth as much as the time put in
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became automatic
Automatic

Let's pull 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
Because when everything is handed to you
It's only worth as much as the time put in
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became
Automatic

Yeah

Automatic
