Lyrics for Twenty Long Years

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 Twenty Long Years - Lord Huron I have a thought or two to share with you But th械 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
