Bob Waters - Twenty Years

We were just children in grown up clothes
How we made it this far only God knows
We bent the rules and smahed our cars
Played with fire and broke our hearts
Somehow came out laughing through the tears
Sure don't seem like twenty years

We drove into the desert
And tapped some kegs
Fit into the circle just like square pegs
Roll one outta flower tops
Hide it man here come the cops
I still taste the skunk weed and the beer
Sure don't seem like twenty years

Danny died of aids
Brian died of loneliness
Ricky died trying to make that turn
For all of us survivors
Stop and Remember
Those of us whose candle don't burn anymore

For the classes that we ditched
For that precious stolen kiss
For the bridges that we burned
And the lessons taht we learned
In the school and on the street
For the long odds that we beat
And the scars that we all wear
And the memories that we share
Raise your glasses up one more final cheer
Sure don't seem like twenty years
Sure don't feel like twenty years
