Twenty Years Later - Walking to School - Andrew Morgan Smith

Well, I've been running from something Twenty years in my car Down a road that's leading me nowhere Yeah, we drive through the farmland No one knows where we're from Could I kiss you and make you a queen Or something in between? Do you want to see The place where I am free? 'Cause in my mind I need it But you're nowhere near to me Move to New York City Take your woman by the hand Leave her there with your things on the doorstep And there's no way around it Could this be our last dance? So fall asleep with the TV, darling I'll be back again Do you want to see The place where I was free? 'Cause in my mind I've been there And there's no one here but me In the morning it'll find you Let the light shine away Down a road that's leading me nowhere And there's no way around it Could this be our last dance? Just fall asleep with the TV, darling I'll be back again, I'll be back again

Who do you want me to be? It's not that easy to see Can't we have some extra time? There's a new tone in your voice You swear we don't have a choice That's what you said so don't deny Three years later I guess you changed your mind What's going on in my head? No, I'm not used to it yet You say I shouldn't worry But I don't believe What's going on in my brain? I think I'm going insane Tell me everything's okay When we know that's not the case You did all that you could If they could help you, they would To look past the broken lines Maybe there's still a chance For us to all make amends And to give it one more try Sooner or later I hope they change their mind What's going on in my head? No, I'm not used to it yet You say I shouldn't worry But I don't believe What's going on in my brain? I think I'm going insane Tell me everything's okay What's going on in my head? No, I'm not used to it yet You say I shouldn't worry But I don't believe What's going on in my brain? I think I'm going insane Tell me everything's okay (I'm going insane) What's going on in my head? No, I'm not used to it yet You say I shouldn't worry But I don't believe What's going on in my brain? I think I'm going insane Tell me everything's okay When we know that's not the case

It'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 Oh, 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 All my memories from those days come gather round me What I'd give if they could take me back in time Oh, it almost seems like yesterday, where do the good times go? Life was so much easier twenty years ago Oh, it almost seems like yesterday twenty years ago

I was at that smartass time of my life Where id pick a fight just to pick a fight If he said black, i said white If he took one side i took the other side The dinner table we sat around Was more like a battleground And i lost more times than i won I woulda learned later on That he was always preachin bout his past I just kept screamin" Come on, dad! That was twenty years ago You dont know me at all! Tryin to talk to you Is like talkin to the wall Yeah, you gave me my life, But its my life to live Maybe i dont wanna Live it like you did, Twenty years ago" He was built with blue collar sweat and blood Squared jaw and a crew cut A purple heart, a Viet Vet. He'd tell you every chance he'd get Always runnin down my rock n' roll, My friends, my hair, my clothes. But one night it got out of control And right there we came to blows And that was just enough to get me gone I couldn't wait to prove him wrong! Twenty years ago Struck out on my own Couldn't tell me nothin' I didnt already know I was on my way So what the hell did I care My old man and his grey hair Thought about the road i chose Twenty years ago "Well i left as fast as the leaves fell that autumn I never looked back and i never once called him But every time i talked to momma I wondered if he was there, or if he even cared I figured i walked out of him and the course of our love had run Momma said 'no, no, you listen to me son, hes a stubborn man and he won't give in. He believes what he believes, well youre just like him' Well i could tell by her voice there was something wrong She broke down, and said he aint got long So i caught the next plane home, Thought about all the years gone Had my pride that i let so much time go by I ran up those stairs and stood by his bed And i cried" Twenty years ago Thought i knew it all But tryin to talk to me Was like talkin to a wall I thought i was a man Actin like i did But all i want right now Is just to be your kid Just before my dad gave up the ghost He took my hand and said "son let it go, that was twenty years ago" Twenty years ago
