[ti:Twenty Years (Album Version)] [ar:Bill Anderson] [al:Fine Wine] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] Twenty Years (Album Version) - Bill Anderson I asked the man who drove the bus To let me off at Maple Avenue He looked at me through puzzled eyes And said You don't live around here do you I said No but I don't come from quite as far back In the steeps as it appears He said Yeah but we ain't had a Maple Avenue Around here for twenty years I got off the bus and asked a man To show me how to get to Sam's cafe He stared at me real funny said They tore it down when Big Sam passed away I said Well I've been away a while I guess perhaps my memory's not too clear He shook his head and said It's sad But Sam's been gone for almost twenty years My old hometown sure has changed in twenty years I guess there's no point asking if Betty Carol Jackson Still lives anywhere close to here This is where I always thought we'd build our dream house But that dream disappeared And that's the biggest reason I've only come back once in twenty years I remember it just like yesterday The Friday night we held our senior prom I'd walked outside to get some air And found her there in Billy Taylor's arms The kids all laughed at me and said They known about it since our junior year I got so mad and hurt so bad I hit the road and stayed for twenty years It still hurts today the same way it's hurt for twenty years All the heartaches linger and They still point their finger at me And all my painful souvenirs I thought maybe I'd matured a bit But I guess I'm still wet behind the years I think I'll head home down the road Maybe try again in twenty years Yeah I guess I'll head home down the road You can look for me again in twenty years
