Chuck Ainlay - Automatic lyrics

[Written by Miranda Lambert, Nicolle Galyon, and Natalie Hemby] [Verse 1] Quarter in a payphone Drying laundry on the line Watching Sun Tea in the window Pocket watch tellin time Seems like only yesterday I'd get a blank ca**ette 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 [Chorus] Hey, whatever happened to waitin 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 seemed so good the way we had it Back before everything became automatic [Verse 2] If you had something to say You'd write it on a piece of paper Then you'd put a stamp on it And they'd get it three days later Boys would call the girls And girls would turn them down Staying married was the only way to work your problems out [Chorus] [Post-Chorus] Automatic [Bridge] Let's pull the windows down Windows with the cranks Come on let's take a picture The kind you gotta shake [Chorus]
