Ain't What It Used To Be

That backward town in my rearview
 Was gonna be my whole world
 Till 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
 This ain't nothin' like what I
 Had in mind for me
 But then again my future
 Ain't what it used to be
 I thought like my dad and his daddy before
 That I would die where I was born
 Live in a small town 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
 This ain't nothin' like what I
 Had in mind for me
 But then again my future
 Ain't what it used to be
 This ain't nothin' like what I
 Had in mind for me
 But then again my future
 Ain't what it used to be
 That backward town in my rearview
 Was gonna be my whole world
