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
And I could ride them wild young broncos The adrenaline came quickly
And Juanita down at Mona's Was my own heart's desire
We were living for the moment And the sunlight on my silver bits
The ringing of my jingle bobs 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 loving that we stole
And the sighing of the pines Up here near the timberline
Makes me wish I'd done things different Ah, 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 And I bet she's still as pretty as when
She's Juanita down at Mona's And my own heart's desire
And the sighing of the pines Up here near the timberline
Makes me wish I'd done things different Ah, 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?
And the sighing of the pines Up here near the timberline
Makes me wish I'd done things different Ah, 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?
Did I hold Juanita yesterday? Was it fifty years ago?
Did I hold Juanita yesterday?
