Answer 1

WAY IT WAS IN '51

(Merle Haggard)

« © '75 Tree Publishing, BMI »



66 was still a narrow two lane highway Harry Truman was the man who ren the snow

The bad Korean war was just beginning and I was just three years too young to go

Country music hadn't gone to New York City yet

And the service man was proud of what he'd done

And Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox that's the way it was in '51

There's so much about the good ole days I'd love to tell

And there's folks around I know still remember well

Slow dancing close together when a ballad played

Cause a thing called rock and roll was yet to come

It was a big year for a drive-in restaurant carhop that's the way it was in '51

[ ac.guitar ]

There's so much about the good ole days...

Yeah Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox Lord Lord that's the way it was in '51
