I Wish I Was Eighteen Again
DGD
At a bar down in Dallas
A
An old man chimed in
DAD
And they thought he was out of his head
G
And all being young men
D
They just laughed it off
GD
When they heard what this old man said
G
He said I'll never again
DAD
Turn the young ladies' heads
AD
Or go running off into the wind
DGD
I'm three quarters home
ADGD
And I wish I was eighteen again
AD
Oh I wish I was eighteen again
A
And going where I've never been
DGD
Now old folks and old oaks
A
Standing tall, just pretend
DAD
I wish I was eighteen again
GD
Time turns the pages
A
And life goes so fast
DGD
The years turn the dark hair all grey
GD
I talk to some young folks
A
But they don't understand
DAD
The words this old man's got to say
A
Oh I wish I was eighteen again
DAD
And going where I've never been
GD
Now old folks and old oaks
A
Standing tall, just pretend
DAD
I wish I was eightee-een again
AD
Oh I wish I was eighteen again...
