C 
Quarter in a payphone 
  
Drying laundry on the line 
         Bb 
Watching sun tea in the window 
       F 
Pocket watch for telling time  
C 
Seems like only yesterday 
  
I'd get a blank cassette 
   Bb 
Record the Country Countdown 
       F                     C F 
'Cos I couldn't buy it yet  
            C 
If we drove all the way to Dallas 
  
Just to buy an Easter dress 
            Bb 
We'd take along a Rand McNally 
         F 
Stand in line to pay for gas  
    C 
God knows that shifting gears 
  
Ain't what it used to be 
             Bb 
I learned to drive that '55 
            F 
Just like a Queen three on a tree

Hey whatever happened to

Waiting your turn 
           F 
Doing it all by hand 
          C                         F
'Cos when everything is handed to you

   C 
If you had something to say 
  
You'd write in on a piece of paper 
          Bb 
And you'd put a stamp on it 
           F 
And they'd get it three days later  
C 
Boys would call the girls 
  
And girls would turn them down 
        Bb 
Staying married was the only way 
   F 
To work your problems out
[Refrão]

Lets's roll the windows down 
  
Windows with the cranks
