THE WAY IT WAS IN '51
Writer: Merle Haggard
Singer: Merle Haggard
[C]Sixty-Six was still a narrow two-lane highway
Harry Truman was the man who ran the [G]show
The bad Korean was was just begining
And I was just three years too young to [C]go
Country Music hadn't gone to New York City yet
And a service man was proud of what he'd [F]done
Hank and Lefty crowded ev'ry [C]jukebox
[G]That's the way it was in fifty [C]one.
CHORUS
[G]There's so much about the good old days I'd love to [C]tell
And there's folks around I know still remember [G]well
Slow [C]dancin' close together when a ballad played
'Cause a thing called Rock and Roll was yet to [F]come
(It was) a big year for a drive-in rest'rant [C]carhop
[G]That's the way it was in fifty [C]one.
REPEAT CHORUS
Yeah! Hank and Lefty crowded ev'ry jukebox
Oh Lord That's the way it was in fifty one.
