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 the tilt a whirl turns
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 the pack
So I'm just gonna keep stumblin' on down this road
Where it goes I ain't supposed to know
It ain't ever gonna be like it used to be
Ain't ever gonna be like it used to be.
If I wait all my life I'll just wait and see
It ain't ever gonna be like it used to be
Love shows up and love goes south
Love knows it ain't all got no doubts
I can't hang on only losers weep
Somebody ain't nobody anybody can keep
It ain't ever gonna be like it used to be
Don't wanna say goodbye but it'll set me free
If I wait all my life I'll just wait and see
It ain't ever 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
Once you give it up there ain't no getting it back
It don't matter if you're Cyrano de Bergerac
I ain't looking back I'm just looking up
I ain't no fool but I'll never know much
Mama told me, baby, just grab it and growl
Gotta take your shot or it'll take you down
It ain't ever 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
It ain't ever gonna be like it used to be
