John Kay - Ain't Nothin' Like It Used To Be lyrics

Words and music by John Kay One gla** in the mornin', two shots at night Three fourths anytime that you wanna get tight Drink wine to remember, swill gin to forget And blame the world for the peace that you haven't found yet He stood at the bar with a bottle in his hand And he complained so bitterly 'bout a world he could not understand He said "All my life, I've hustled and paid to survive Say, can't you see, what's wrong with the world ain't me" Ain't nothing' like it used to be Ain't nothing' like it once was Ain't nothin' like it ought to be Ain't nothin' right no more One pill in the mornin', two joints at night Three spoons any time that you want to feel right Toot coke to remember, shoot smack to forget And blame the world for the life you haven't lived yet Get up in the mornin', give love at night And take time for yourself when you're losing the fight Take care to remember, it takes time to forget Thank God for the time that you haven't had yet © 1977 Rambunctious Music ASCAP
