Let's go back

This song has so much meaning. I am in love with it. 

 "Automatic"
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 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 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

If you had something to say, you'd write it on a piece of paper
Then you'd put a stamp on it & they'd get it three days later
Boys would call the girls & girls would turn them down
Staying married was the only way to work your problems out
 

Let's pull the windows down
Windows with the cranks
Come on let's take a picture
The kind you gotta shake
