Twenty Years Ago Lyrics

Kenny Rogers Twenty Years Ago

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
