Twenty Years And Two Husbands Ago Songtext / Lyric

Lookin' in the bathroom mirror

Puttin' my makeup on

Maybelline can't hide the lines

Of time that's gone



I weighed 105 soakin' wet

I'd knock 'em dead in that sundress

Had it all, just too young to know

That was twenty years and two husbands ago



I remember when he took my hand

And said "I do"

And the kitchen I was standin' in

When he said "I'm through"






And I swore I'd never fall back in

Put my heart through that again

Never let somebody get that close

But that was twenty years and two husbands ago



Water under the bridge

I guess that's all life really is

That's just the way it is



Drivin' the kids to school today

It occurred to me

With all the wrong turns that I've made

I'm right where I should be



But I go back there from time to time

Lookin' for that peace of mind

And find it's always just a dead-end road

Yeah, that was twenty years and two husbands ago



Water under the bridge

I guess that's all life really is

That's just the way it is



Lookin' in the bathroom mirror

Puttin' my makeup on
