Twenty Long Years

Lyrics

[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
