Jerry Lee Lewis - I Wish I Was Eighteen Again Lyrics
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
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
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

Prachtig wat een artiest
OMG...I cannot believe I found this. I was there this night. Oh I wish they would show the crowd. I would love to see my 28 year old self...LOL...
Just beautiful. He is one of the top 5 performers EVER! HE SOUNDS LIKE HE REALLY MEANS IT. I dont know how to put it. He sings for all of us wishing that.
Love Jerry Lee he's wonderful great singer love love to death thanks for all good music I wish I was too
listen to this song makes me feel like I'm in heaven and never want to leave
I can listen to this all day long such perfection in this song
And we all wish he was 18 again!! What a 'do over' that would be.
He was living that one !. Ain't but one Jerry Lee Lewis.
Wow the Killer is hot sexy a great singer. Wish I could give The Killer A Warm Hug😘😘😘😘😘😘💋💋💋💃
It would even be pleasant to be the age that the Great Killer was when he recorded this one!
Jerry Lee was the greatest influence in my musical style!!!
HOPE HEStill PERFORM WHEN HE IS 100 !!!!!!!! THE KILLER HE IS THE GREATEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I died and went to heaven listen to this
Jerry Lee's one of the very best, but this live version isn't. He just goes through the motions. Too bad, because its a great song and his studio version is really fine.
me too jerry.!!!!!!!!
Such a sad song, but beautifully performed, in the right tempo, by a genius. I know that the word is overused but it applies to JLL.
ITS PRURDY SAD WHEN A MAN CNT GET A PLAY....I GUESS IAM GETTIN OLD AND OUT SHAOE..BUT MY HEART IS CENTERED...GOD FIRST....LOVE IS ALL THAT MATTERS...RICH OR POOR...LIFE IS WHAT COUNTS...
There is a version by Ray Price also...his touched me the most for some reason.
Jerry and George both did great jobs with this fabulous song
Goddamn that was fine !!!!!!!!
+6sexysize Just want to say you (and I) will stand before God someday and give account of every idle word.
it was vreat
@Glendon Ward-- Goddamn...SAY IT TO YOURSELF!
Thou shalt not use the name of the Lord thy god in vain.
WHAT CAN I SAY, LOVE JERRY LEE LEWIS AND HIS SONGS
This is what rock'n'roll is about! The killer!
Jerry recorded this on Electra Records around 1983 or so. The studio version is one of the most poignant songs you will ever hear. George Burns recorded it after Jerry. JERRY"S WAS THE BEST- JUST PURE EMOTION!
The sad thing is that Jerry, even in his later years did not get the respect that he deserved and earned from the public at large. He recorded so many just fantastic songs that should have gone to # 1, but he just did not get the airplay. But if you understand and recognize talent- you know he was one of the best singers and expressive piano players who ever lived.
Couldn't agree more! CHEERS!
He really deserved more! One of the greatest there ever was!
I love Jerry Lee Lewis.
Oh yes. This is an awesome song. We all can relate to these lyrics. Lol
Great stuff ...thanks....the killer!
yeh me to jerry hahaha
me three hehe
that solo, Mama Mia
Wow......I saw Mr. Burns do this twice live. Jerry Lee NAILED it. I loved ol' George Nathan Birnbaum, but .....wow.......just wow....
Am Bruge
Living legend!
I wish I was Eighteen Again !
..lifes lessons..
Any money owed you is in God's bank.Better be glad it is not in the red.
Hell, this IS the man...a born talent no matter how drunk he was he still pulled it off
this prick still owes me $50
Jerry Lee can sing anything and sound good...keep rockin` Jerry Lee...your the best..
Great rendition!
Rock on Killer. No one even comes close to the man. He rocks!!!
George Burns' version is more poignant, but nobody beats JLL's delivery! Thanks for posting it.
