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 --- Like It Used to Be - Allison Moorer
