Lyrics The Way It Was in '51

Sixty-six was still a narrow two-lane highway

Harry Truman was the man who ran the show

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

Country music hadn't gone to New York City yet and a service man was proud of what he'd done

And Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox

That's the way it was in fifty-one

There's so much about the good old days

I'd love to tell

And there's folks around

I know still remember well

Slow dancin' close together when a ballad played 'cos a thing called rock and roll was yet to come

It was a big year for a drive-in restaurant car hop

That's the way it was in fifty-one

There's so much about the good old days

I'd love to tell

And there's folks around

I know still remember well

Slow dancin' close together when a ballad played 'cos a thing called rock and roll was yet to come

A big year for a drive-in restaurant car hop

Huh that's the way it was in fifty-one

Yeah Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox

Oh Lord

That's the way it was in fifty-one
