lyrics

Twenty Years Ago This Christmas ©Angry Johnny And The Killbillies

Last time that I saw her was on Christmas
Last thing she did was walk right out the door
She tore up all the presents that I gave her
She said she didn’t love me anymore

That was twenty years ago this winter
That was twenty years ago today
Now the wind is howling through the cracks
I guess I’ll never get her back
Maybe old Jack Frost can blow
These Christmas blues away

Last I heard she was living out in Boston
Last I heard she finally settled down
Down here in the valley the snow just keeps on falling
Piling up the misery without making a sound

I wonder if she ever once remembers
Or thinks about the way it used to be
Twenty years ago a cold day in December
Lord does she remember ever even loving me

I think about every goddamn Christmas
I think about her every goddamn day
I wonder if I’ll make it through another Christmas season
I lost my only reason twenty years ago today

So here’s to you my darlin’ merry Christmas
And here’s to all the years that have gone by
One last Christmas greeting while my broken heart’s still beating
One last merry Christmas One last cold goodbye

I get on with my days
In a permanent haze
People think it’s a phase
But my madness is growing…
