Jake La Botz Used to Be Lyrics

I used to have a woman in my home...a long, long time ago.
And I still recall that gal, though she's been a long time gone.
She might have stayed if what I had to give was more like love, but now all I have...
Is a used to be and aint no more.

I used to have music in my home...a long, long time ago.
And I still recall that song, though it's been a long time gone.
I try to sing it yet but it comes out in sobs and moans, and now all I have...
Is a used to be and aint no more.

Well there used to be pictures up on the wall
And there used to be kids running round in the hall.
Used to be more than just one chair
Cause when I had friends they would visit me here.
Used to be a cross made out of gold
Hanging on the mirror that I've since broke.
But now all I have...
Is a used to be and aint no more.
Alright.
They used to bring mail to my home...a long, long time ago.
I still recall those letters, though they've been a long time gone.
How can they bring the mail when the numbers on the house are gone?
And now all I have...
Is a used to be and aint no more.

I used to have a bible in my home...a long, long time ago.
And I still recall that book, though it's been a long time gone.
And it's been so long since I called the Lord I'm afraid he won't respond
And now all I have...
Is a used to be and aint no more.
