Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Life's Just Not the Way It Used to Be

Somehow things just never came together

Fate had different plans for you and me

Love used to be the most important thing in life

But life's just not the way it used to be

If lovin' someone all the way

Is gone for good with yesterday

Then what am I?

I'm just a fool who pays no mind

I'm out of step, out of time

And I wanna die

I'll love you so but I don't know the answers

And I know so well that you're in love with me

Love used to be the most important thing in life

But life's just not the way it used to be

No, life's just not the way it used to be
