Billy Currington lyrics : "Ain't What It Used To Be"

That backward town in my rearview
Was gonna 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 wantin' to go
But I've run out of reasons to stay


[Chorus:]
This ain't nothin' like what I

Had in mind for me
But then again my future
Ain't what it used to be


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
Tryin' to read a map on the dash
Nowhere close to making up my mind

With a fork in the road comin' fast

This ain't nothing like what I

Had in mind for me
Then again my future
Ain't what it used to be


This ain't nothing like what I
Had in mind for me

Then again my future
Ain't what it used to be


That backward town in my rearview
Was gonna be my whole world
