Back When Gas Was Thirty Cents A Gallon Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon America was young and strong and brave 

Lord knows that I didn't have much money 

And my old car had seen some better days 

You were young and fresh as brand new roses 

I was so in love and strong and brave 

Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon and love was only sixty cents away 

I don't think I'd know you if I'd see you I practice my forgettin' till it works 

Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon I didn't know the meaning of hurt 

Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon 

And sweet magnolias line those country roads 

We burned a tank of love most every weekend 

And on work days I helped 'em fix the roads 

My friends were many and our dreams were certain 

Whoever thought we'd go our separate ways 

Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon and love was only sixty cents away 

I don't think I'd know you... 

Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon and love was only sixty cents away
