Cigarettes were a quarter then, bobby socks and jeans were in, Elvis sang
Dm7 G Dm7 G
the songs that we loved so, and the most important thing to
Dm7 G Dm7 G
us, was keeping gas in my old truck, so I could take us to
C
the drive in show.

Then graduation finally came, Uncle Sam called me away, you married
Dm7 G Dm7 G
someone else while I was gone, but I've kept your letter all
Dm7 G Dm7
these years, and I can't help but shed a tear, when I read the
G
words you wrote me years
C
ago.
[Chorus]

Baby I'm yours, I'll love you always, I'm gonna stand by you
F C Bb F
until the end of time, remember all of the good things that we
C Bb F C
shared to gether, signed, love Betty, nineteen fifty nine.

I never will forget the day, when you and I went all the way, I was the
Dm7 G Dm7
first for you, and you for me, I've still got the truck that
G Dm7 G Dm7
we loved in, it takes me back there now and then, back to

fifty nine in my memo ry.
