The Future Is Not What It Used To Be

I left Decatur helping to forget her
Bought a ticket to Skowhegan, Maine
I wound up in Seattle too drunk and too rattled
To know that I caught the wrong train.

I met some fast easy women and some hard drinking men
Trying to drown the sorrow in me
Aah I once had a lot but the future is not
Not what it used to be.

Aah the years they went by and I went steadily down
Til I had no place to go
Made the soup lines by morning and the dives every night
Wrecking my body and soul.

And then I met a lady and in time she made me forget
Yes her love set me free
Aah we ain't got a lot but the future is not
Not what it used to be.

Oh I never thought I could live to get over
For the past cut a hole deep in me
But there's a chance I'll be here a while longer
At least now I wanna be.

Somebody told me that you were in town
I found out today
And you know that I'm sorry to hear that you're down
But what can I say.

That I know your sorrow and I know your pain
Don't you know I know your need
I used to love you a lot but the furture is not
Not what it used to be...

Mirror lyrics:

Not what it used to be...
I used to love you a lot but the furture is not
Don't you know I know your need
That I know your sorrow and I know your pain

But what can I say.
And you know that I'm sorry to hear that you're down
I found out today
Somebody told me that you were in town

At least now I wanna be.
But there's a chance I'll be here a while longer
For the past cut a hole deep in me
Oh I never thought I could live to get over

Not what it used to be.
Aah we ain't got a lot but the future is not
Yes her love set me free
And then I met a lady and in time she made me forget

Wrecking my body and soul.
Made the soup lines by morning and the dives every night
Til I had no place to go
Aah the years they went by and I went steadily down

Not what it used to be.
Aah I once had a lot but the future is not
Trying to drown the sorrow in me
I met some fast easy women and some hard drinking men

To know that I caught the wrong train.
I wound up in Seattle too drunk and too rattled
Bought a ticket to Skowhegan, Maine
I left Decatur helping to forget her
