《The Way It Was In ’51》歌词

[00:00:00] The Way It Was In '51 - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:14] Sixty-Six was still a narrow two-lane highway

[00:00:22] Harry Truman was the man who ran the show

[00:00:30] The bad Korean war was just beginning

[00:00:37] And I was just three years too young to go

[00:00:43] Country music hadn't gone to New York City yet

[00:00:50] And a service man was proud of what he'd done

[00:00:58] And Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox

[00:01:05] That's the way it was in '51

[00:01:11] There's so much about the good old days

[00:01:15] I'd love to tell

[00:01:18] And there's folks around I know

[00:01:22] Still remember well

[00:01:26] Slow dancing close together when a ballad played

[00:01:33] Cause a thing called

[00:01:34] A Rock and Roll' was yet to come

[00:01:40] It was a big year for a drive-in rest'rant Carhop

[00:01:47] And that's the way it was in '51

[00:02:22] There's so much about

[00:02:24] The good old days I'd love to tell

[00:02:29] And there's folks around I know

[00:02:32] Still remember well

[00:02:36] Slow dancing close together

[00:02:40] When a ballad played

[00:02:43] Cause a thing called 'Rock

[00:02:46] And Roll' was yet to come

[00:02:50] A big year for a drive-in rest'rant Carhop

[00:02:58] And that's the way it was in '51

[00:03:04] Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox

[00:03:11] Oh Lord that's the way it was in '51
