What's the Future Good For, Anyway?

They tore down my old house.
It's turned into a grocery store
It wasn't such a great house,
but now it's not there no more.
I called to tell my old boy friend
Somehow he ain't never home
We used to be so close
Now I can't get him on the phone

CHORUS
   What's the future good for anyway?
   Another dollar, another Goddamn day
   If ev'ry thing it brings is just gonna make my heart ache
   What's the future good for anyway.

I went by the old school
But nobody remembered me.
I felt like an old fool.
I went home and watched T. V.
I checked back into Mayberry
R. F. D.
They even had better nostalgia
In the sixties.

CHORUS

SOLO

I miss Billy Holiday
I miss Patsy Cline
I miss Cole Porter and the
Art of the delicate rhyme.
I turn on the radio
Can't stand what I hear
I hate lookin' backward,
But I bet I'll hate it more next year.
