The Used To Be Lyrics

They don't make the movies

They don't make the cars

They don't make the good food the way they used to

Good lawd

It ain't nothing, nowhere nothing like

Nothing like it used to be no

And what about the parties

They ain't even close

They don't sell the dream like they used to

Everybody knows

It ain't nothing, nowhere nothing like

Nothing like it used to be

Cause the used to be is gone

What happened to the place that used to be there

Used to be the place that would all ride by

What happened to the food I would get there

Things keep changing but don't feel right

Tell me where to find someone around here

Who knows a different time

How I wish I could put it all back together, together

They don't make the movies

They don't make the cars

They don't make the good food the way they used to

Good lawd

It ain't nothing, nowhere nothing like

Nothing like it used to be no

And what about the parties

They ain't even close

They don't sell the dream like they used to

Everybody knows

It ain't nothing, nowhere nothing like

Nothing like it used to be

Cause the used to be is gone

What happened to the woman who lived there

She would feed the neighborhood with a smile

I don't see our spot, it used to be here

Where they gonna go now Friday night

Take me to somebody else around here

From a different time

Oh How I wish I could put this all back together, forever

They don't make the movies

They don't make the cars

They don't make the good food the way they used to

Good lawd

It ain't nothing, nowhere nothing like

Nothing like it used to be no

And what about the parties

They ain't even close

They don't sell the dream like they used to

Everybody knows

It ain't nothing, nowhere nothing like

Nothing like it used to be

Cause the used to be is gone

The good stuff ain't here no more

My old spot ain't there no more

And all my friends don't hang no more

Ain't nothing like, like it used to be

They don't make the movies

They don't make the cars

They don't make the good food the way they used to

Good lawd

It ain't nothing, nowhere nothing like

Nothing like it used to be no

And what about the parties

They ain't even close

They don't sell the dream like they used to

Everybody knows

It ain't nothing, nowhere nothing like

Nothing like it used to be

Cause the used to be is gone

The good stuff ain't here no more

My old spot ain't there no more

And all my friends don't hang no more

Ain't nothing like, like it used to be

They don't make the movies

They don't make the cars

They don't make the good food the way they used to

Good lawd

It ain't nothing, nowhere nothing like

Nothing like it used to be no

And what about the parties

They ain't even close

They don't sell the dream like they used to

Everybody knows

It ain't nothing, nowhere nothing like

Nothing like it used to be
