Merle Haggard
Life’s Just Not the Way It Used to Be
[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
If loving 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 and out of time
And I want to die

[Chorus]
I love you so, but I don't know the answer
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

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