I Wish I Was Eighteen Again - Jerry Lee Lewis

In a bar in Memphis an old man came in

I thought he was out of his head

Being a young man I just laughed it off

I'm dreaming that he understood

I'll never again turn

The young ladies heads

Or go running off into the wind

I'm three quarters home now

From the start to the end

I wish I was eighteen again

I wish I was eighteen again

My God I'd like to go back

Where I've never been but old folks

Old oaks

They stand tall but just pretend

I wish I was eighteen again

Time turns the pages

And life it goes so fast

The years turn the black hair to gray

I talked to young folks

But they don't understand

The things this old man's has to say

Oh I wish I was eighteen again

Going back where I've never been

But old folks old oaks

Standing tall just pretend

I'll never be eighteen again
