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 sun dress 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 standing 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 Driving the kids to school today, it occurred to me With all the wrong turns I've made, I'm 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
