Kenny Rogers - Twenty Years Ago lyrics

rate me

It`s been a long time since I walked

Through this old town

But oh how the memories start to flow

And 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 I would know

On Saturday mornings that`s where

All my friends would meet

You`d be surprised what a dime would 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

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

But he joined the army back in 1964

How could we know he would never come back

Twenty years ago.
