Conway Twitty - Thing Of The Past lyrics
rate meOne way ticket, window seat<br />
Heartache at 30, 000 feet<br />
The future fades into memories.<br />
I'll get by somehow.<br />
<br />
Three point landing at L.A.X.<br />
Pockets filled with traveller's cheques<br />
Passenger filled with regrets<br />
It's all too clear to me now.<br />
<br />
We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive-in movies<br />
And cars that run on regular gas.<br />
War love letters and high school sweaters<br />
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.<br />
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees<br />
And all the things that weren't meant to last.<br />
It's sad to find that you and I are nothing<br />
But a thing of the past.<br />
<br />
No one's waitin' to meet my plane<br />
Two thousand miles and I feel the same.<br />
Only the hotel clerk knows my name<br />
And that's just fine with me.<br />
<br />
Out the window the crowded streets are lined<br />
With people with someone to meet.<br />
While I sit here keepin' company<br />
With what used to be.<br />
<br />
We're just like "I Love Lucy" and drive- in movies<br />
And cars that run on regular gas.<br />
War love letters and high school sweaters.<br />
Beetle boots and bell bottom pants.<br />
Like autumn leaves fallin' from the trees<br />
And all the things that weren't meant to last.<br />
It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'<br />
But a thing of the past.<br />
<br />
It's sad to find that you and I are nothin'<br />
But a thing of the past...
