Twenty Years Lyrics - 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
