I Wish I Was Eighteen Again

At a bar down in Dallas an old man chimed in

And I thought he was out of his his head

Just being a young man, I just laughed it off

When I heard what that old man had said

He said I'll never again turn the young ladies heads

Or go running off into the wind

I'm three quarters home from the start to the end

And I wish I was eighteen again

I wish I was eighteen again

And going where I've never been

But old folks and old oaks

Standing tall just pretend

I wish I was eighteen again

Now time turns the pages and oh, life goes so fast

The years turn the black hair all grey

I talked to some young folks, hey they don't understand

The words this old man's got to say

I wish I was eighteen again

And going where I've never been

But old folks and old oaks

Standing tall just pretend

I wish I was eighteen again
