Twenty Years Ago
Montgomery Gentry

I was at that smart ass time of my lifenWhere id pick a fight just to pick a fightnIf he said black, I said whitenIf he took one side I took the other sidenThe dinner table we sat aroundnWas more like a battlegroundnAnd I lost more times than I wonnI would of learned later onnnThat he was always preaching bout his pastnI just kept screaming Come on, dad!nThat was twenty years agonYou don't know me at all!nTrying to talk to you is like talking to the wallnYeah, you gave me my life, but its my life to livenMaybe I don't wanna live it like you did, Twenty years agonnHe was built with blue collar sweat and bloodnSquared jaw and a crew cutnA purple heart, a Viet Vet.nHe'd tell you every chance he'd getnAlways running down my rock n' roll,nMy friends, my hair, my clothes.nBut one night it got out of controlnAnd right there we came to blowsnAnd that was just enough to get me gonenI couldn't wait to prove him wrong!nnTwenty years agonStruck out on my ownnCouldn't tell me nothingnThat I didn't already knownLater I was on my waynTo what the hell did I carenMy old man and his gray hairnThought about the road I chosenTwenty years agonnWell I left as fast as the leaves fell that autumnnI never looked back and I never once called himnBut every time I talked to mommanI wondered if he was there,or if he even carednI figured I walked out of him and the course of our love had runnMomma said 'no,no, you listen to me son, hes a stubborn man and he won't give in.nHe believes what he believes, well you're just like him'nWell I could tell by her voice there was something wrongnShe broke down, and said he ain't got longnSo I caught the next plane home,nThought about all the years gonenHad my pride that I let so much time go bynI ran up those stairs and stood by his bednAnd I criednnTwenty years agonThought I knew it allnBut trying to talk to menWas like talking to a wallnI thought I was a mannActing like I didnBut all I want right nownIs just to be your kidnJust before my dad gave up the ghostnHe took my hand and said son let it go, that was twenty years agonTwenty years ago
