I Wish I Was Eighteen Again Lyrics - Ray Price

At a bar down in Dallas an old man chimed in 

And they thought he was out of his head 

And all being a young man they just laughed it off 

When they heard what this old man he said 

He said I'll never again turn the young ladies headds 

Or go running off in to the wind 

I'm three quarters home from the start to the end 

And I wish I was eighteen again 

Oh I wish I was eighteen again and going where I've never been 

Now old folks and old oaks standing tall just pretend 

I wish I was eighteen again 

[ piano - vibes ] 

Time turns the pages and life goes so fast 

The years turn the black hair all grey 

I talk to some young folks but they don't understand 

The words this old man got to say 

Oh I wish I was eighteen again... 

Oh I wish I was eighteen again
