• The Future's Not What It Used to Be

I left Decatur hell bent to forget
I bought a ticket back to Skowhegan, Maine
I wound up in Seattle, so drunk and so rattled
Lord, I caught the wrong train
Found some fast easy women and some hard drinkin' men
Swore I'd drown the sorrow in me
I once had a lot but the future was not, not what it used to be
Oh, the years they went by and I went steadily down hill
'Till I had no place left to go
Made the missions by morning, made the dives every night
'Till I made a wreck out of my body and my soul
Then I met a lady and in time she made me forget
Her love set me free
We didn't have a lot, the future was not,
not what it used to be
I never thought I would live to get old
The past cut a hole deep in me
But there was a chance to be here a while longer
At least, I wanted to
Somebody told me that she was in town
I found out today
Lord, how it hurts me to hear that she's down
But what else can I say
I know her sorrow, I know her pain, I know her need
I once loved her a lot, but the future's just not,
not what it used to be
