Life's Just Not The Way It Used To Be Lyrics - Merle Haggard

Somehow things just never came together 

Fate had different plans for you and me 

Love used to be the most important thing in life 

But life's just not the way it used to be 

If lovin' someone all the way 

Is gone for good with yesterday 

Then what am I? 

I'm just a fool who pays no mind 

I'm out of step, out of time 

And I wanna die 

I'll love you so but I don't know the answers 

And I know so well that you're in love with me 

Love used to be the most important thing in life 

But life's just not the way it used to be 

No, life's just not the way it used to be
