Lord Huron Twenty Long Years
[Verse 1]
I have a tale or two to tell you
But the booze just makes me slow
Oh, I can rack my brain remembering
But I guess maybe I'll just go
There's a method to my madness
There's a secret to this town
There's a reason why I'm still living here
Though I can't think of it right now
[Chorus]
I made a promise when I left for the coast
Twenty long years ago
I made a life out of chasing a ghost
Twenty years takes its toll, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
I got along for a while, I guess
But it took everything I had
I gotta find a way out of this mess
I'm in troublе and it sure looks bad, yeah
[Verse 2]
I have a thought or two to sharе with you
But the dope tends to cloud my mind
I destroyed my health searching for myself
But there ain't nothing there to find
There's a debt or two I owe you
But the gambling left me poor
I put up my name in the sacred game
And forgot what I was playing for
[Chorus]
I made a promise when I left for the coast
Twenty long years ago
I made a life out of chasing a ghost
Twenty years takes its toll, ooh
[Post-Chorus]
I got along for a while, I guess
But it took everything I had
I gotta find a way out of this mess
I'm in trouble and it sure looks bad, yeah
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
I gotta find a way out of this mess
I'm in trouble and it sure looks bad
I gotta find a way out of this mess
I went looking and it drove me mad
I gotta find a way out of this mess
I'm in trouble and it sure looks bad
I gotta find a way a way out of this mess
I ain't never seen you look so sad, yeah
