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.
