Balsam Range - The Future's Not What It Used To Be lyrics

I left Decatur hell bent to forget 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 Oh I once had a lot but the future is not Not what it used to be Ooh the years, they went by and I went steadily down 'Til I had no place I could go I 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 No 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 older For the past cut a hle deep in me But now there's a chance I'll be here a while longer And at least now I wanna be Somebody told me that you were in town And I found out today And you know I'm sorry to hear that you're down But honey what can I say? I know your sorrow, I know your pain Don't know I know your need? Cause I once loved you a lot, but girl the future is not Not what it used to be
