Miranda Lambert - Automatic lyrics

rate me

Quarter in a payphone, drying laundry on the line

Watching SUNTEA{ask a Southerner} in the window

But I can't watch, the telling town

Seems like only yesterday, I 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 Eastern dress

We take a long array McMally,

Stand in the line to pay for gas

God knows the shifts and gears,

Ain't what it used to be

I learned to drive that 55,

Just like a Queen, three on the tree!

Chorus:

Hey, whatever happened to,

Wait in your turn,

Doing it all by hand?

Cause when everything is handed to you

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

It all just seemed 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 'em down

Staying married was on the way to work your problems out.

Chorus:

Hey, whatever happened to,

Wait in your turn,

Doing it all by hand?

Cause when everything is handed to you

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

It all just seemed so good the way we had it

Back before everything became

Automatic!

Let's roll the windows down

Windows with the ...

Come on, let's take a picture

The kind they gotta shape!

Chorus:

Hey, whatever happened to,

Wait in your turn,

Doing it all by hand?

Cause when everything is handed to you

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

It all just seemed so good the way we had it

Back before everything became

Automatic!
