The Way It Was In '51 - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:00]
Sixty-Six was still a narrow two-lane highway[00:00:14]
Harry Truman was the man who ran the show[00:00:21]
The bad Korean war was just beginning[00:00:29]
And I was just three years too young to go[00:00:36]
Country music hadn't gone to New York City yet[00:00:43]
And a service man was proud of what he'd done[00:00:50]
And Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox[00:00:57]
That's the way it was in '51[00:01:05]
There's so much about the good old days[00:01:11]
I'd love to tell[00:01:15]
And there's folks around I know [00:01:18]
Still remember well[00:01:21]
Slow dancing close together when a ballad played[00:01:25]
Cause a thing called [00:01:33]
A Rock and Roll' was yet to come[00:01:34]
It was a big year for a drive-in rest'rant Carhop[00:01:39]
And that's the way it was in '51[00:01:47]
There's so much about[00:02:22]
The good old days I'd love to tell[00:02:24]
And there's folks around I know [00:02:29]
Still remember well[00:02:32]
Slow dancing close together[00:02:35]
When a ballad played[00:02:39]
Cause a thing called 'Rock[00:02:43]
And Roll' was yet to come[00:02:45]
A big year for a drive-in rest'rant Carhop[00:02:50]
And that's the way it was in '51[00:02:56]
Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox[00:03:04]
Oh Lord that's the way it was in '51[00:03:11]
