- Twenty Years Ago Lyrics / with translationsIt`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
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
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

Outstanding lyrics. Brings back memories and tears for Kenny losing his friend Joe. The 60's were tough times. Kenny's only 6 years younger that me. I'll meet him on the other side some day.
