20 Years Lyrics

David Dondero 20 Years

well i got on me
it's my angular prison i.d.
ain't a place in this whole damn city willing to hire me
it's been 20 years
and a horn blows from a riverboat
it sounds the same as the day i went away
you know it sounds just the same
in 1979, man i was always high
i don't remember comitting the crime
but i remember doing the time
it's been 20 years
and a horn blows from a suzaphone
to me it sounds like a moan
my eyes are not like yours
my eyes are froze
from the years in a jail cell
in fear of my foes
it's been 20 years
and a horn blows from a riverboat
and it sounds the same as the day i went away
you know it sounds just the same
