Fifty Years Ago Lyric
by N/A
If I could roll back the years Back when I was young and limber Loose as ashes in the wind I had no irons in the fire I could ride them wild young broncos The adrenaline came quickly And Juanita down at Mona's Was my only hearts desire
We were living for the moment And the sunlight on my silver bits The ringing of my jinglebobs Was the music of my soul In the alley back of Mona's I held Juanita in the shadows How we held on to each other And the lovin' that we stole
And the sighing of the pines
Up here near the timberline
Makes me wish I'd done things different Oh, but wishing don't make it so Oh the time has passed so quick The years all run together now Did I hold Juanita yesterday Was it fifty years ago
If I would have quit them broncos She might have quit that business But that was back in the fast days You know before the wire I bet I could still find her Bet she's still as pretty As when she's Juanita down at Mona's And my only heart's desire
