Ain't What It Used To Be

[Verse 1] That backward town in my rear view Was going to 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 wanting to go But I've run out of reasons to stay [Chorus] This ain't nothing like what I Had in mind for me But then again my future Ain't what it used to be [Verse 2] Well I thought like my dad and his daddy before That I would die where I was born Live a small town dream in a big backyard Raisin' babies and corn Now here I am, one eye on the road Trying to read a map on the dash Nowhere close to making up my mind With a fork in the road coming fast [Chorus][x2] [Outro] That backward town in my rear view Was going to be my whole world
