It's been a long time since I've walked through this old town Oh, how my 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 Yes, I worked a counter at a drug store 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 damn goodbye, twenty years ago All my memories from those days come gathering round me Why I can't believe 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 He joined the army back in 1964 How could we know he would never come back all those years ago? All my memories from those days come gathering round me Why I can't believe 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
