Aint What It Used To Be Lyrics

Aint What It Used To Be lyrics

(Tony Martin Mark Nesler)



That backward town in my review

Was
gonna be my whole world

'Til my factory job got shipped to Mexico

And a city boy stole my sweet girl

I used to know everybody by name

Everybody's moved away

Can't say that I'm really wantin' to go

But I've run out of reasons to stay



This ain't nothing like
what I

Had in mind for me

Then again my future

Ain't what it
used to be



Well I thought like my dad and his daddy before

That I would die where I was born

Live a small town dream in a big
backyard

Raisin' babies and corn

Now here I am one eye on the
road

Tryin' to readin' a map on the dash

No where close to makin'
up my mind

With a fork in the road comin' fast



This ain't
nothing like what I

Had in mind for me

Then again my future

Ain't what it used to be



This ain't nothing like what I

Had in mind for me

Then again my future

Ain't what it used to
be



That backward town in my review

Was gonna be my whole
world
