Ain't What It Used to Be

Ain't What It Used to Be - Country Hit Superstars

That backward town in my rearview

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 nothin' like what I

Had in mind for me

But 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 read a map on the dash

Nowhere close to making 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 rearview

Was gonna be my whole world
