At a bar down in Dallas an old man chimed in
And I thought he was out of his his head
Just being a young man, I just laughed it off
When I heard what that old man had said
He said I'll never again turn the young ladies heads
Or go running off into the wind
I'm three quarters home from the start to the end
And I wish I was eighteen again
I wish I was eighteen again
And going where I've never been
But old folks and old oaks
Standing tall just pretend
I wish I was eighteen again
Now time turns the pages and oh, life goes so fast
The years turn the black hair all grey
I talked to some young folks, hey they don't understand
The words this old man's got to say
I wish I was eighteen again
And going where I've never been
But old folks and old oaks
Standing tall just pretend
I wish I was eighteen again
Lord, I wish I was eighteen again!

As recorded by SLIM WHITMAN:
In a park down in Dallas an old man chimed in
And I thought he was out of his his head
And being a young guy, I just laughed it off
When I heard what that old man had said
He said I'll never again turn the young ladies heads
Or go running off into 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
'Cause I'm going where I've never been
Old folks and old oaks standing tall just pretend
And I wish I was eighteen again
Time turns the pages, the years how they fly
The dark hair has all turned to grey
I talk to some kids, but they don't understand
The words that I've got to say
I wish I was eighteen again
'Cause I'm going where I've never been
Old folks and old oaks standing tall just pretend
And I wish I was eighteen again
I'm three quarters home from the start to the end
And I wish I was eighteen again
