quarter in a payphone
drying laundry on a line
watching sunday in the window
you could watch the telling
time seems like only yesterday
i'd get up like you said
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 longer rand
mcnally stand in line to pick forgets
god knows that shifting gears
ain't what it used to be
i learned to drive that fifty five
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 seems so good
the way we had it back
before everything became automatic
you had some to say you write it on a piece of paper
and you put a stamp on it
and they get it three days late
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 seems so good
the way we had it back
before everything became automatic
yeah
of a man
let's roll the windows down
windows with the cracks
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 seems so good
the way we had it back
before everything became automatic
yeah
what a man
