Letra de Ain't What It Used To Be

That backward town in my rearview Was gonna be my whole world Till 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 I thought like my dad and his daddy before That I would die where I was born Live in a small town dream in a big backyard Raisin' babies and corn Now here I am, one eye on the road Tryin' to read the map on the dash Nowhere close to making up my mind With a fork in the road comin' fast This ain't nothin' like what I Had in mind for me But then again my future Ain't what it used to be This ain't nothin' like what I Had in mind for me But then again my future Ain't what it used to be That backward town in my rearview Was gonna be my whole world
