๐ Lyrics
I left Decatur helping 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
Aah, I once had a lot but the future is not
Not what it used to be
Aah, the years they went by and I went steadily down
'Til I had no place I could go
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
Aah 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 over
For the past cut a hole deep in me
But now there's a chance I'll be here a while longer
At least now I wanna be
Somebody told me that you were in town
I found out today
And you know that I'm sorry to hear that you're down
But I mean what can I say?
That I know your sorrow and I know your pain
Don't you know I know your need?
'Cause I want to love you a lot but the future is not
Not what it used to be
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
Aah, I once had a lot but the future is not
Not what it used to be
Aah, the years they went by and I went steadily down
'Til I had no place I could go
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
Aah 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 over
For the past cut a hole deep in me
But now there's a chance I'll be here a while longer
At least now I wanna be
Somebody told me that you were in town
I found out today
And you know that I'm sorry to hear that you're down
But I mean what can I say?
That I know your sorrow and I know your pain
Don't you know I know your need?
'Cause I want to love you a lot but the future is not
Not what it used to be
