Like It Used To Be

Change comes in like a rising tide
Ain't no reason ain't no signs
It's just the way future will turn
It's just the way the barricades burn

Take one step up take a step on a crack
Daddy said it ain't no good to run with a pack
So I'm just gonna a stumble down this road
Where it goes I ain't supposed know

Ain't never gonna be like it used to be
Ain't never gonna be like it used to be
If I wait all my life I'll just wait and see
Ain't never gonna be like it used to be

Love shows up and love goes south
Love knows it all ain't got no doubts
I can't hang on only losers weep
Somebody ain't nobody anybody can keep

Ain't never gonna be like it used to be
Don't want to say goodbye but it'll set me free
If I wait all my life I'll just wait and see
Ain't never gonna be like it used to be

You might say you will but you know you won't
You might think you do but you know you don't
And once you give it up there ain't no getting it back
It don't matter if you're sipping on a Bergerac
I'm not looking back I'm just looking up
I ain't no fool but I never know much
Momma told me just grab it and run
You gotta take your shot or it'll take you down

Ain't never gonna be like it used to be
Don't want to say goodbye but it'll set me free
If I wait all my life I'll just wait and see
Ain't never gonna be like it used to be
