G G7 C
At a bar down in Dallas an old man chimed in
D7 G
And they thought he was out of his head
G7 C
And all being young men they just laughed it off
D7 G D7
When they heard what this old man said
G G7 C
He said I'll never again turn the young ladies' heads
D7 G
Or go running off into the wind
G7 C
I'm three quarters home from the start to the end
D7 G D7
And I wish I was eighteen again
G G7 C
Oh I wish I was eighteen again
D7 G
And going where I've never been
G7 C
Now old folks and old oaks standing tall just pretend
D7 G D7
I wish I was eighteen again
G G7 C
Time turns the pages and life goes so fast
D7 G
The years turn the dark hair all gray
G7 C
I talk to some young folks but they don't understand
D7 G D7
The words this old man's got to say
Repeat #3
A7 D7 G
Oh I wish I was eighteen again
