Ain't What It Used To Be lyrics

That backwood town in my rear view Was gonna be my whole world Till my factory job got shipped to mexico An' my farm boy chased a city girl I used to know everybody by name But 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 I thought, like my mom and her momma before That i would die where i was born Live a small town dream in a big backyard Raisin' babies an' corn Now here i am, one i amu row Tryin' the read the map on the dash Nowhere close to makin' up my mind With a fork in the road comin' fast Chorus That backwood town in my rear view Was gonna be my whole world
