Miranda Lambert – Automatic Chords

Quarter in a payphone, drying laundry on the line
Watching sun tea in the window, pocket watch for telling 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, waiting 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 seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic

If you had something to say, you’d write in on a piece of paper
And 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

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 you put in
It all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic, yeah
Automatic

Lets’s roll the windows down, windows with the cranks
Come on let’s take a picture, the kind you gotta shake

Hey whatever happened to waiting your turn, doing it all by hand
‘Cos when everything is handed to you
It’s only worth as much as the time you put in
It all just seems so good the way we had it

Back before everything became, Automatic, yeah, automatic
