{AUTOMATIC} A MUST HEAR FOR THE OLD TIMERS!
I Usualy Don't Care Much For New Music But I Stumbled on This and Had To Share! It will Touch a Nerve!
KC
"Automatic"
Quarter in a payphone
Drying laundry on the line
Watching Sun Tea in the window
Pocket watch for 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
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 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
Automatic
Let'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 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
Yeah
Automatic

Good stuff. All of this is great! Thanks for sharing. Song is not one I likely would have heard on my rock stations or my digital music
library. It shares a great message. We need to get the country back to the mentality of earning their place and standing and everything is not automatic (Entitled). We live in an instant gratification country that gets anything they want with the use plastic and does not feel like they need to really pay for it. Think it is ok to just go further in debt. I know many who are headed for a serious crash as this down turn develops.

Dang! That's a good song by Miranda. Thanks for letting me read the lyrics as I listened. I never would have heard it otherwise, as like Shaneyusa my interests are rock and the oldies.

CHECKING IN~
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainm...d-checking-in/
CHECKING IN” lyrics:
Hey there, son
It’s Dad again
I know you’re busy
I’m just checking in
You can all me later
If you get a chance
I don’t want nothing else
Just wonderin’ how you been
No telling me how many times
I’ve let that message play
He’s been gone awhile
But it still feels like yesterday
I even call him back sometimes
Wishing he’d pick up again
I got a lot more to say these days
then I did back then
Hey dad, it’s me checking in
I’m doing alright
Work’s been a little hard
But don’t worry I told mom I’d get by there later on
and cut the yard
The kids are good
You’d sure be proud
Yeah I should probably let you go
But I’m missing you right now
No telling me how many times
I’ve let that message play
He’s been gone awhile
But it still feels like yesterday
I even call him back sometimes
Wishing he’d pick up again
I got a lot more to say these days
then I did back then
Hey dad, it’s me checking in
I’m just checking in
No telling me how many times
I’ve let that message play
He’s been gone awhile
But it still feels like yesterday
I even call him back sometimes
Wishing he’d pick up again
I got a lot more to say these days
then I did back then
I got a lot more to say these days
then I did back then
Hey dad, it’s me checking in
Just checking in
Hey there, son
It’s dad again.
I know you’re busy
I’m just checking in
