Ain t What It Used To Be
Capo: 2nd fret
Intro: (2x)
That backward town, in my rearview
Was gonna be my whole world
Til my factory job, got shipped to Mexico
And a city boy stole my sweet girl
I used to know everybody by name
Everybody s moved away
Can t say that I m really wantin to go
But I ve run out of reasons to stay
(chorus)
This ain t nothin like what I,
had in mind for me
Then again my future,
Ain t what it used to be
Well I thought like my dad, and his daddy before
That I would die where I was born
Live a smalltown dream in a big backyard
Raisin babies and corn
Now here I am, one eye on the road
Tryin to read the map on the dash
Nowhere close to making up my mind
With a fork in the road comin fast
(chorus 2x)
(one strum) (one strum)
That backward town, in my rear view
(pick)
Was gonna be my whole world
Outro: (play to fade)
