Automatic

Automatic - Miranda Lambert

Quarter in a payphone

Drying laundry on the line

Watching Sun Tea in the window

Pocket Watch tellin' me

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 waitin' your turn

Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you

It's all only worth as much as the time you put in

In 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

Then you put a stamp on it

And they'd get it three days later

Boys would call the girls

And girls would turn them now

Staying married was on the way to work your problems out

Hey whatever happened to waitin' your turn

Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you

It's all only worth as much as the time you put in

In 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 waitin' your turn

Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you

It's all only worth as much as the time you put in

In all just seems so good the way we had it

Back before everything became automatic

Automatic
