Текст песни: The Future's Not What It Used to Be + перевод

I left Decatur, hell bent to forget

Bought a ticket back to Skowhegan, Maine

I wound up in Seattle so drunk and so rattled

I caught the wrong train

I found some fast easy women and some hard drinkin' men

Swore I would drown all the sorrow in me

Oh, I once had a lot

But the future is not what it used to be

Oh, the years they went by and I went steadily downhill

Until I had no place left to go

Made all the missions by mornin' and then I made the dives every night

Until I made a wreck of my body and my soul

And then I met this lady

In time she made me forget, her love set me free

I once had a lot

But the future is just not what it used to be

Well, I never thought I would live to grow old

The past cut a hole deep in me

And shackled and chained to a ghost that remains

I was haunted by your memory

Somebody told me you were back in town

I found out today

God knows it hurts me to hear you’re so down

But what else can I say

I know your sorrow, I know your pain, I know your need

And I once loved you a lot

But the future is just not what it used to be

Its not what it used to be
