I've been twenty for thirty years or more
What keeps me young will be the death of me for sure
Sometimes my baby hates the guy she left her mama for
I've been twenty for thirty years or more

I've been twenty for thirty years or so
Could have grown up a little faster, I suppose
It's hard not to drink too much when you're on the road
I've been twenty for thirty years or so

The guy that made her fall in love
Is the guy sometimes she wishes I'd give up
Who she wants me to be and who I was
It's hard for her 'cause she loves both of us

Being twenty for thirty years is hard
Underneath the lights, playing the stars
You can keep 'em guessing when you're holding a guitar
Being twenty for thirty years is hard

The guy that made her fall in love
Is the guy sometimes she wishes I'd give up
Who she wants me to be and who I was
It's hard for her 'cause she loves both of us

She's been twenty for thirty years to me
Just a girl from Mississippi's all I see
She says she's looking older but I have to disagree
She's been twenty for thirty years to me

I hope you're twenty for thirty more years
Don't ever let that rebel disappear
'Cause all the love and laughter way outweigh the tears
She says I hope you're twenty for thirty more year
