歌词
Quarter in a payphone
投币电话一毛钱
Drying laundry on the line
晾衣绳上万国旗
Watching Sun Tea in the window
坐看窗外日蒸茶
Pocket Watch tellin' me
袋中怀表报时间
Seems like only yesterday, I'd get a blank cassette
我有过一盒空磁带 似乎还是昨天
Record the country countdown, 'cause I couldn't buy it yet
要把村榜录下来 因为我买不起录音带
If we drove all the way to Dallas just to buy an Easter dress
若我们开车到达拉斯去 买一件复活节长裙
We'd take along a Rand McNally, stand in line to pay for gas
我们会带上地图 排队付给汽油钱
God knows that shifting gears ain't what it used to be
上天知道以前的车不像今天这样换挡
I learned to drive that 55 just like a queen, three on a tree
在限速55的时代我学会了开车 三档大卡开得像女王游行
Hey whatever happened to, waitin' your turn
嘿 那排队等待 亲力亲为的习惯是怎么了
Doing it all by hand, cause when everything is handed to you
因为当你坐享一切的时候
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
一切眨眼就好 乐趣亦已不再
In all just seems so good the way we had it
过去的生活方式是如此美好
Back before everything became, automatic
在一切都变得全自动之前
If you had something to say
若你有什么要说
You'd write it on a piece of paper
你会写在纸上
Then you put a stamp on it
然后贴上邮票
And they'd get it three days later
三天后他们就会收到
Boys would call the girls
男生会打电话给女生
And girls would turn them now
女生会发好人卡
Staying married was on the way to work your problems out
婚姻忠贞少麻烦
Hey whatever happened to, waitin' your turn
嘿 那排队等待 亲力亲为的习惯是怎么了
Doing it all by hand, cause when everything is handed to you
因为当你坐享一切的时候
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
一切眨眼就好 乐趣亦已不再
In all just seems so good the way we had it
过去的生活方式是如此美好
Back before everything became, automatic
在一切都变得全自动之前
Automatic
全自动
Let's pull the windows down
让我们放下车窗吧
Windows with the cranks
那车窗有把手摇下来
Come on let's take a picture
来我们照张照片
The kind you gotta shake
那照片还要甩干
Hey whatever happened to, waitin' your turn
嘿 那排队等待 亲力亲为的习惯是怎么了
Doing it all by hand, cause when everything is handed to you
因为当你坐享一切的时候
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
一切眨眼就好 乐趣亦已不再
In all just seems so good the way we had it
过去的生活方式是如此美好
Back before everything became, automatic
在一切都变得全自动之前
Automatic
全自动
