  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.
