| Song | The Way It Was In '51 |
| Artist | Merle Haggard And The Strangers |
| Album | The Very Best Of Merle Haggard |
| 作词 : Haggard | |
| Sixty-Six was still a narrow two-lane highway | |
| Harry Truman was the man who ran the show | |
| The bad Korean war was just begining | |
| 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 | |
| Hank and Lefty crowded ev'ry 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 | |
| 'Cause a thing called Rock and Roll was yet to come | |
| It was a big year for a drive-in rest'rant carhop | |
| 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 | |
| 'Cause a thing called Rock and Roll was yet to come | |
| It was a big year for a drive-in rest'rant carhop | |
| That's the way it was in fifty one. | |
| Yeah! Hank and Lefty crowded ev'ry jukebox | |
| Oh Lord That's the way it was in fifty one. |
