Change comes in like a rising tide Ain't no reason ain't no signs It's just the way future will turn 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 a pack So I'm just gonna a stumble down this road Where it goes I ain't supposed know Ain't never gonna be like it used to be Ain't never gonna be like it used to be If I wait all my life I'll just wait and see Ain't never gonna be like it used to be Love shows up and love goes south Love knows it all ain't got no doubts I can't hang on only losers weep Somebody ain't nobody anybody can keep Ain't never 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 Ain't never 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 And once you give it up there ain't no getting it back It don't matter if you're sipping on a Bergerac I'm not looking back I'm just looking up I ain't no fool but I never know much Momma told me just grab it and run You gotta take your shot or it'll take you down Ain't never 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 Ain't never gonna be like it used to be
