[Verse 1]
66 was still a narrow two lane highway
Harry Truman was the man who ran the show
The bad Korean War was just beginning
And I was just three years to young to go
[Verse 2]
Country music hadn't gone to New York City yet
And the service man we proud of what he'd done
And Hank and Lefty crowded every jukebox
That's the way it was in '51
[Verse 3]
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 dancing close together when a ballad played
'Cause a thing called Rock 'n' Roll was still to come
It was a big year for a drive-in restaurant car hop
And that's the way it was in '51
[Verse 4]
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 dancing close together when a ballad played
'Cause a thing called Rock 'n' Roll was still to come
A big year for a drive-in restaurant car hop
And that's the way it was in '51
[Verse 5]
Yeah, Hank and Lefty crowded every juke box
Oh Lord, that's the way it was in '51
