From the ol' "Storyteller" Mr. Tom. T. Hall..."Back When Gas Was Thirty Cents A Gallon" (1980) Still my favorite dreary cold November song when I'd be out in the field with this on the fender-mount Motorola AM radio tuned in to KWMT listening to this and Big Red while shredding stalks on a open cab '68 John Deere 3020 gas! Good warm memories to take the chill off a cold day. :-)

It is very true when our beloved President Carter said, Tom T. Hall is a historian with a Guitar." I love Tom T. Hall.

not a v6 automatic



[welnish]

I remember when a hamburger, a gallon gas, a pack of cigarettes, and loaf of bread were all about 15 cents and my brand new Mustang was about $2400.

[NP535overdrive]

@welnish , yeah, now add another 40,000 to that price today for a REAL mustang

[mr1georg57]

@welnish I bought a new mustang in september 66 a left over and got if for $2600 dollars and liked that car more then any i had before and after. Wish i had keep it. O well we all make mistakes.

A great song by one of countrys finest, it's nice folks of a new day are getting to hear it....

[oldfatty811]

Brings a tear to my old eyes. Bless you Tom T Hall for all the songs you've given us. You are truly the poet laureate of country.

[numberoneson1]

brilliant,still fetches a lump to my throat when ever I hear this.

[sherrillwallace]

What a great old song. I've not heard it before but the words sure remind me of when I first went to work in 1967. Gas was .29cents a gallon and I was in love for the first time. We were married in 1970 and divorced in 1973. It took me many many years to get over the fact that she didn't love me anymore. This goes in my favorites and I plan to learn it and put it on my channel. Thanks a million for sharing. ***** Sherrill

[alexbleks]

stop complaining.... over here in Norway its 10 usd a gallon

[qwertyuiop7280]

@alexbleks then move here, immigrants have more rights than citizens in US

[ladyarcher1128]

[fernhollow1928]

Cheapest I remember gas is: 6 Gals. for a Dollar & as the sign said "Try Ethyl first". :-0 I'm 83-i think that may have been when Hi-test first came out.

[a1countrybluegrass]

I want it back to 0.30 cents a liter. Canada today gasoline costs $ 1.27 cents a liter governments suffocating us.

[mwk1977]

@a1countrybluegrass You know that's like $3.50 a gallon right?

[geneslady74]

GREAT SONG GREAT SINGER wish gas was 30 cents a gallon

[a1countrybluegrass]

I dedicate this song to all politicians and all oil companies.

[nekeyd]

gas wars were popular in 1962! We were just married and gas was around 23 cents a gallon. Those were the good old days!

[geneslady74]

what a nice song. Tom T. Hall what a great singer!!! What would we do without music

[banksnot]

Wow.

[headredbone]

just when you think you have heard all his songs, more surface somewhere or another.

[lzhzlh]

Back when it was 30 cents a gallon the station attendant would say we came in, bought 50 cent worth of gas and threw a dollar worth of gravel over the fence when we left.

[barrygioportmorien1]

Fantastic song by Tom, one of my all time favourites. *****

[txstoryteller]
