"Wish I Was Eighteen Again"

I Wish I Was Eighteen Again
In a bar in Memphis, an old man walked in
I thought he was out of his head
Being a young man, I just laughed it off
I couldn’t get into what he said

Oh! I’ll never again turn a young lady’s head
Or go running off into the wind
I’m three quarters home from the start to the end
I wish I was eighteen again

Oh! I wish I was eighteen again
And going where I’ve never been
Where old folks and old oaks
Just stand tall and pretend.
I wish I was eighteen again

Now time turns the pages and life goes so fast
The years turn the black hair to grey
I talk to the young folk, but they don’t understand
The things this old man has to say

Oh! I wish I was eighteen again
And going back where I’ve never been
Where old folks and old oaks
Just stand tall and pretend.
I wish I was eighteen again
