twenty years ago

Kenny Rogers

It's been a long time since I've walked through this old town

Oh how the memories start to flow

There's the old movie house, they finally closed it down

You could find me there every Friday night twenty years ago

I worked the counter at the drugstore down the street

But nobody's left there that I would know

On Saturday mornings that's where all my friends would meet

You'ld be surprized what a dime would buy twenty years ago


All my memries from those days come gather around me

What I'd give if they could take me back in time

Oh, it almost seems like yesterday, where do the good times go?

Life was so much easier twenty years ago


I guess I should stop by Mr. Johnson's Hardware Store

His only son was my friend
He joined the army back in 1964

How could we know he would never come back twenty years ago

CHORUS
