Back When Gas Was Thirty Cents A Gallon
Written and recorded by Tom T. Hall

F                                C
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
G7                               C
America was young and strong and brave
F                                  C
Lord knows that I didn't have much money
G7
And my old car had seen some better days
F                                     C
You were young and fresh as brand new roses
G7                              C
I was so in love and strong and brave

F                                C
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
G7                            C
And love was only sixty cents away
  G7                              F    C
I don't think I'd know you if I'd s-ee you
F             C                  G7
I practice my forgetting till it works
F                                C
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
  G7                         C
I didn't know the meaning of hurt

F                                C
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
G7                                     C
And sweet magnolias line those country roads
F                                   C
We burned a tank of love most every weekend
G7
And on work days I helped 'em fix the roads
F                                        C
My friends were many and our dreams were certain
G7                                   C
Whoever thought we'd go our separate ways
F                                C
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
    G7                        C
And love was only sixty cents away

  G7                              F    C
I don't think I'd know you if I'd s-ee you
F             C                  G7
I practice my forgetting till it works
F                                C
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
  G7                         C
I didn't know the meaning of hurt
F                                C
Back when gas was thirty cents a gallon
    G7                        C
And love was only sixty cents away
