《The Future Is Not What It Used to Be》歌词

[00:00:00] The Future Is Not What It Used to Be - Ronnie Milsap

[00:00:16] I left Decatur helping to forget her

[00:00:23] Bought a ticket to Skowhegan Maine

[00:00:31] I wound up in Seattle too drunk and too rattled

[00:00:39] To know that I caught the wrong train

[00:00:47] I met some fast easy women

[00:00:51] And some hard drinking men

[00:00:54] Trying to drown the sorrow in me

[00:01:02] I once had a lot but the future is not

[00:01:10] Not what it used to be

[00:01:22] The years they went by and I went steadily down

[00:01:30] 'Til I had no place to go

[00:01:38] Made the soup lines by morning

[00:01:42] And the dives every night

[00:01:45] Wrecking my body and soul

[00:01:53] And then I met a lady and in time she made me forget

[00:02:04] Yes her love set me free

[00:02:09] We ain't got a lot but the future is not

[00:02:19] Not what it used to be

[00:02:29] Oh I never thought I could live to get over

[00:02:37] For the past cut a hole deep in me

[00:02:45] But now there's a chance I'll be here a while longer

[00:02:55] At least now I wanna be

[00:03:02] Somebody told me that you were in town

[00:03:11] I found out today

[00:03:18] And you know that I'm sorry to hear that you're down

[00:03:27] But what can I say

[00:03:32] That I know your sorrow and I know your pain

[00:03:41] Don't you know I know your need

[00:03:47] 'Cos I want to love you a lot but the future is not

[00:03:57] Not what it used to be
