Ricky Skaggs - Used To Be Lyrics






Well, you don't love me anymore, my darling
I'm just a used to be to you
Those cold cold kisses that you gave me, little darling
Proved to me you found somebody new.

Tomorrow's just another lonesome day
And I know you'll want me far away
Well, you don't love me anymore, my darling
I'm just a used to be to you.

Gone are the good old days that we spent together
And I don't know if I can stand the pain
Of knowing that you'll soon be gone forever
And I'll never know your love again...

Ricky Skaggs Used To Be Comments
  1. M.... D....

    Sooo much better than today's country music with rap added in!

  2. B.... G....

    I did some work at Possum Point power station. One of the engineers told me Ricky used to work there. The story is his supervisor told him that "your going to work or music." He chose the music, Probably good choice. Im not sure if that is true or not, but sounds good.

  3. c.... ....

    More like, 'Ricky Shreds'..

  4. J.... B....

    It is pretty crazy they got Ed Koch to do this. NYC must have been on its ass financially.

  5. D.... S....

    Rickey skags

  6. B.... S....

    Mr blue grass, mr bill,

  7. S.... O....

    Damn shame he's a Trump supporter. Poor stupid brainwashed man.

    S.... O....

    You will catch up friend. Keep America Great!

    S.... O....

    @Mark Burch You poor brainwashed fools. I feel sorry for you.

    S.... O....

    @Sum One I love seeing a leftist say stuff like this. Like kettel calling the pot black. You are the one who is brain washed and just another sheep

    S.... O....

    @Chad Justice You poor stupid brainwashed fools. I feel sorry for you.

  8. C.... B....

    Thank god ricky realized the moustache does not work.

  9. S.... B....

    3:05 why does that guy kind of look like today's older johnny depp.

  10. j.... ....

    Honor the fathers

  11. k.... m....

    Saw Bill Monroe play at a local bar back in the 80's. Met him back in the kitchen while he was waiting to go out and play to about 25 people, I knew the owner. He was a great guy, let me hold and pick on his mandolin and I got his autograph of course !!

  12. R.... P....

    Its obvious "Uncle" went to NYC to get himself some Puerto Rican COCK

  13. v.... h....

    Joe Diffie ? Twin ?

  14. J.... m....

    Great song of country boy

  15. a.... g....

    Son ant no doubt about it that boy can sure play

  16. H.... R....

    Classic old music video, custom made for MTV. I'm glad that Vevo have finally put a decent quality version of this up on YouTube. Ricky Skaggs is an absolute country legend.

  17. l.... ....

    Great song written by Albert Lee, but awful video... All the break dancing and miming was never going to age well.

  18. C.... W....

    Skaggs is the man! I’ve loved his music since I was a little boy. It just went from a tape player to MP3. LoL 😆

  19. C.... V....

    I don't listen to a lot of Bluegrass, but I remember when VH1 played Country Boy a lot. I still love listening to this.

  20. J.... G....

    Omg he looks like Joe Diffie 😂

  21. H.... F....

    First 10yr a my life it was Southern Baptist hymns and Country Western with a smattering of Classical *BEETHOVEN 1812 OVERTURE BATTLE HYMN of The REPUBLIC. Don't get between me and MY MUSIC cuz I mean to defend myself.*

  22. J.... ....

    Saw Ricky with Charlie Daniels band 2 weeks ago with others at the Grand Ole Opry, BOTH OF THEM ARE DAGGON GREAT!

  23. M.... J....

    Amazing picking and singing by Ricky and such fun watching legendary father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe, dancing on the subway! Fabulous!!!!

  24. G.... F....

    This video is awesome on several levels

  25. S.... O....

    City Slicker lol. More like a New Zealand slack jaw dressed up in a hire suit for a christening on the farm down the road. Complete with Mullet.

  26. R.... B....

    Play this with distorted guitars and you have thrash metal

  27. J.... P....

    An hour ago I had never heard that song and now I can't stop listening to it. Awesome.

    J.... P....

    Dale Lee Cooper you would love Albert lees version! He wrote this great song!

    J.... P....

    @Logan Ramey Productions I've just listened to it and you were right, great version! Thx :)

  28. G.... t....

    I never get tired of watching Bill Monroe dance on the subway. I love watching him show 'em how it's really done. :)

  29. S.... D....

    This has got to be the fastest country song I've ever heard.

    S.... D....

    No Lie?? *Stick around a spell youngin'. Chances are real good you AIN'T SEEN NUTTIN YET......*

    S.... D....

    Wrong brother....fastest is Doug Kershaw. Orange blossom special..

    S.... D....

    Nope...They were much faster when Flatt and Scruggs played

  30. M.... S....

    When I was kid I asked my dad why they didn't play this music on the radio....he simply said, in a harsh demeanor..."they don't play good music on the radio!"

    M.... S....

    GOTTA *KICK OUTTA THAT INDEED I DID.*

  31. b.... ....

    I remember seeing this video on CMT,The Nashville Network & VH-1 back in 85 and it's still a hoot to watch. Thank you Ken Burns for reminding me of this great video.

  32. L.... T....

    Ken Burns sent me here

  33. w.... ....

    Who were the two people at the end?

    w.... ....

    mentioned above-David Keith "Great character actor you may remember from An Officer and a Gentleman."

  34. b.... m....

    Ken Burns' documentary on PBS brought me here...thanks, Ken!

  35. D.... R....

    A lot of us city slickers who grew up in NYC really liked this stuff. Some of my earliest memories as a kid are of Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell playing in the house alongside Frank Sinatra and Tom Jones. That was before corporate radio turned us all into separate tribes who only listen to one genre of music.

  36. D.... Y....

    a beauty COWBOY and the big city call it MORNING COWBOY!

  37. S.... M....

    I’m so glad I was reintroduced to this thanks to Ken Burns. God Bless him and Bill Monroe

    S.... M....

    I just watched the last episode and came straight here for the same reason.

    S.... M....

    Watched all of them

  38. D.... G....

    Thank you, Ken Burns!!

  39. D.... R....

    I was born, raised and living in Brooklyn when this video premiered, and I remember laughing at the ridiculously incongruous sight of break dancers wigging out B-Boy style to pickin and a-grinning hillbilly music. Now it all just seems innocent and quaint.

  40. D.... W....

    No joke ,the worse song I have ever heard , how did this man ever get a deal back in the day

    D.... W....

    Easily because he is one of the greatest musicians to play country music

    D.... W....

    Love it when a joke is prefaced with “no joke” 😂

    D.... W....

    You obviously have no taste in music.

  41. M.... J....

    Trenchcoat mafia

  42. S.... G....

    With the great Bill Monroe.

  43. J.... H....

    I tried not to like bluegrass/country when i was a kid... this song didn't help ;)

    J.... H....

    It gets in your blood for sure...Us old hillbillies grew up on this

  44. J.... U....

    this video was a trip

  45. A.... M....

    Excellent!

  46. F.... C....

    BILL MONROE!!

  47. B.... E....

    Is that Ed Koch?

  48. S.... G....

    Ricky, thank you for teaching me how to do harmonies. It's the way I learned how to sing.

  49. j.... p....

    This is so 80s

  50. J.... P....

    As a picker, skaggs has to be a guitar god in some sort. This type of skill and picking is something equal to the magnitude of EVH and dare I say George lynch lol

  51. 8.... L....

    God my mom loved this stuff, when I was young I hated it, when I was old I didn't understand it, now that Im older I love it, many life is such a sadistic journey.

  52. k.... f....

    Classic fish out of water scenario

  53. R.... D....

    Is that Lester Flatt???????????? Lord Jesus that man had the sweetest voice!!!!

    R.... D....

    thats bill monroe lester flatt died 79

  54. C.... ....

    Haha even the granpa wants in!!

  55. I.... N....

    98 people aren't country boys

  56. J.... D....

    I haven't heard that song from Ricky Skaggs in a long time. Go ahead Ricky Boy.

    J.... D....

    Former mayor of NYC Ed Koch Bill Monroe Ricky Skaggs and Patrick Swayze as a dancer

  78. S.... M....

    Ricky Skaggs and Bill Monroe look out of place in New York, but seem to be enjoyed

  79. C.... M....

    "Thee" Country music anthem! 👍😎

  80. P.... B....

    Healing Song 9/11 Anthem. YouTube Search: Boyle sings MOTHER LIBERTY
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL3-vpMmBbk

  81. E.... V....

    If you're a metalhead and don't like this, I'm not sure what to say to you...
    Maybe you're just bogus.

    E.... V....

    Well, it _does_ have a speed metal beat.

    E.... V....

    I know what I wood say 2 them.

    They would NOT like it.

    E.... V....

    Yeah like to see those metalheads try their fast licks on a Martin strung up with 13-56 gauge

    E.... V....

    Pure American talent, metal or not. I grew up on bluegrass and country and saw Ricky a few times at the County Fair. Fuckin-A, that guy rocks. :D

    E.... V....

    and I am sure there are a lot of great metalhead songs out there that you just do not get either

  82. W.... C....

    I love this video, it should be a musical scene in a movie!!!

  83. S.... P....

    Love it!

  84. m.... ....

    Love seeing Bill Monroe:)

  85. G.... Q....

    The worst music video, maybe ever

    G.... Q....

    Ah, hush.

    G.... Q....

    G.... Q....

    Says you!

    G.... Q....

  88. F.... S....

    This is great but doesn‘t make it up to the original.

  89. J.... B....

    A great collaboration between mentor and mentee. Something also tells me that Ricky has a lot of fun doing this song live.

  90. S.... ....

    Great stuff!!

  91. o.... f....

    Written by the great Albert Lee.

  92. D.... S....

    Is that Ed Kotch @ 1:46?!

    D.... S....

    Yup! (And it's Ed Koch, not Kotch)

    D.... S....

    Yes love it!

    D.... S....

    I think so

    D.... S....

    Koch was one of a kind. Can you imagine current NYC dope Mayor Bill DiBlasio doing something like this?

  93. c.... ....

    i'm first. i'm special.
