The Future Is Not What It Used To Be Lyrics - Ronnie Milsap

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.
