Lagu "Automatic" yang dibawakan oleh Miranda Lambert menyoroti tema nostalgia dan kerinduan untuk masa lalu yang lebih sederhana. Liriknya mengeksplorasi rasa kehilangan atas pesona dan kerja keras yang telah digantikan oleh kenyamanan dan kemudahan teknologi modern. Lagu ini merindukan waktu ketika komunikasi memerlukan surat tulisan tangan, kencan adalah urusan yang diperhitungkan, dan upaya pribadi dihargai lebih dari sekadar kemudahan yang diberikan.
Automatic Lyrics
Miranda Lambert
Called in a payphone
Drying laundry on the line
Watching Santi in the window
I can't watch, the tellin' town
Seems like only yesterday, I get a blank cassette
Record the country countdown, 'cause I couldn't buy it yet
If we drove all the way to Dallas
Just buy a Estearn dress
We take a long array McMally, stand in the line to pay for gas
God knoes his shifts and gears, ain't what it used to be
I learned to drive that 55, just like a Queen, three on the tree
Halo never happened to, wait in your turn
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
In all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic
If you had something to say
You'd write it on a piece of paper
Then you put a stamp on it
And they'd get it three days later
Boys would call the girls
And girls would turn them now
Saying Mary was on the way to work your problems out
Halo never happened to, wait in your turn
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
In all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic
Automatic
Let's pull the windows down
Windows with the Christ
Come on let's take a picture
The kind they gotta shake
Halo never happened to, wait in your turn
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
In all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic
Drying laundry on the line
Watching Santi in the window
I can't watch, the tellin' town
Seems like only yesterday, I get a blank cassette
Record the country countdown, 'cause I couldn't buy it yet
If we drove all the way to Dallas
Just buy a Estearn dress
We take a long array McMally, stand in the line to pay for gas
God knoes his shifts and gears, ain't what it used to be
I learned to drive that 55, just like a Queen, three on the tree
Halo never happened to, wait in your turn
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
In all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic
If you had something to say
You'd write it on a piece of paper
Then you put a stamp on it
And they'd get it three days later
Boys would call the girls
And girls would turn them now
Saying Mary was on the way to work your problems out
Halo never happened to, wait in your turn
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
In all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic
Automatic
Let's pull the windows down
Windows with the Christ
Come on let's take a picture
The kind they gotta shake
Halo never happened to, wait in your turn
Doing it all by hand cause when everything is handed to you
It's all only worth as much as the time you put in
In all just seems so good the way we had it
Back before everything became, automatic
