Twenty Long Years Songtext
von Lord Huron

I have a tale or two, to tell you
But the booze just makes me slow
Oh, I can wreck 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

I made a promise when I left for the coast
20 long years ago
I made a life out of chasing a ghost
20 years takes its toll, ooh

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


I have a thought or two to share with you
But thе dope tends to cloud my mind
I destroyed my health searching for myself
But there ain't nothing there to find

There 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

I made a promise when I left for the coast
20 long years ago
I made a life out of chasing a ghost
20 years takes its toll, ooh

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

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 out of this mess
I ain't never seen you look so sad, yeah
