Ain't What You Used to Be
You think you're the bigger man
And he'd never do wrong to a good, good woman
You think shes crazy
But what does that mean?
You got crazy and you got mean
You used to light the room up
Now you just light his smokes
Used to make them laugh now you're going for broke
Used to be the queen of the Americana scene
Pissing in the pockets of the cream of the cream
Oh where you gonna go when the money's all gone?
Oh who you gonna be without that one hit song?
Oh it's pretty clear to see
Ain't what you used to be
I watched you on a Memphis stage
You were lit up and shiny like a neon parade
You skipped out of college babe
You skipped out of school
Look at you now
Yeah you're playing the fool
He had a baby and a pretty wife
But you wanted a brand new do-over life
Divorce sure sounds good in a country song
And God help the woman of the man you want
Oh where you gonna go when the money's all gone?
Oh who you gonna be without that one hit song?
Oh it's pretty clear to see
Ain't what you used to be
You're not Emmylou babe
And he ain't Gram
Sweetheart the rodeo's already left town
Oh where you gonna go when the money's all gone?
Oh who you gonna be without that one hit song?
Oh it's pretty clear to see
Ain't what you used to be
Ain't what you used to be
Ain't what you used to be
And he'd never do wrong to a good, good woman
You think shes crazy
But what does that mean?
You got crazy and you got mean
You used to light the room up
Now you just light his smokes
Used to make them laugh now you're going for broke
Used to be the queen of the Americana scene
Pissing in the pockets of the cream of the cream
Oh where you gonna go when the money's all gone?
Oh who you gonna be without that one hit song?
Oh it's pretty clear to see
Ain't what you used to be
I watched you on a Memphis stage
You were lit up and shiny like a neon parade
You skipped out of college babe
You skipped out of school
Look at you now
Yeah you're playing the fool
He had a baby and a pretty wife
But you wanted a brand new do-over life
Divorce sure sounds good in a country song
And God help the woman of the man you want
Oh where you gonna go when the money's all gone?
Oh who you gonna be without that one hit song?
Oh it's pretty clear to see
Ain't what you used to be
You're not Emmylou babe
And he ain't Gram
Sweetheart the rodeo's already left town
Oh where you gonna go when the money's all gone?
Oh who you gonna be without that one hit song?
Oh it's pretty clear to see
Ain't what you used to be
Ain't what you used to be
Ain't what you used to be
