Twenty Years Ago

It's been a long time

Since I 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 him there every Friday night

Twenty years ago

He worked the counter

At the drugstore down the street

But nobody's left there he would know

On Saturday mornings

That's where all our friends would meet

You'd be surprised what a dime could buy

Twenty years ago

All my memories

From those days come gather 'round 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 Joe

He joined the army back in 1964

How could we know he would never come back

Twenty years ago?

All my memories

From those days come gather 'round me

What I'd give if they would 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

Life was so much easier

Twenty years ago
