Like It Used To Be Lyrics - Down To Believing - Allison Moorer

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
