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...
