20 years ago
(Billy Bob Thornton)
Staring off into space smoking more than I should Staying out of the race hiding from the neighbourhood Looking out through the cracks catching glimpses of life I touch the past when I look back like it's the edge of a knife Playing to the crowd of one as I cuss my demons out For the things that I have done to put my future in doubt Feeling poison eat me up from the fun I thought I had Before I knew that lady luck could turn stark raving mad And I'd give anything for twenty years ago And what I knew today about saying no I'd give anything for twenty years ago I'd never live the dreams that made this nightmare grow Hardly leaving this place once a month for the news That I shouldn't have much faith and my bill is overdue My phone rings every now and then but I never pick it up Don't want to talk to old friends who are up on their luck And I'd give anything for twenty years ago And what I knew today about saying no I'd give anything for twenty years ago I'd never live the dreams that made this nightmare grow And I'd give anything for twenty years ago And what I knew today about saying no I'd give anything for twenty years ago I'd never live the dreams that made this nightmare grow
