I Wish I Was Eighteen Again Lyrics - Jerry Lee Lewis - Jerry Lee Lewis

In a bar in Memphis, an old man came in 

I thought he was out of his 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
