I Wish I Was Eighteen Again Lyrics

At a bar down in Dallas an old man chimed in,
And I thought he was out of 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 in - to the wind.
I'm three quarters home from the start to the end.
And I wish I was eight - teen a - gain.
Refrain:
I wish I was eighteen again, and going where I've nev - er been.
But old folks and old oaks standing tall just pre - tend.
I wish I was eigh - teen a - gain.
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 nev - er been.
But old folks and old oaks standing tall just pre - tend.
I wish I was eigh - teen a - gain.
Instrumental Interlunde:
Lord I wish I was eigh - teen a - gain
