Verse 1.
A5
If I could roll back the years
D5
Back when I was young and limber
A5
Loose as ashes in the wind
B5 E5
I had no irons in the fire
C#5
I could ride them wild young broncos
D5
The adrenaline came quickly
A5
And Juanita down at Mona's
E5 A5
Was my only hearts desire
Verse 2.
A5
We were living for the moment
D5
And the sunlight on my silver bits
A5
The ringing of my jinglebobs
B5 E5
Was the music of my soul
C#5
In the alley back of Mona's
D5
I held Juanita in the shadows
A5
How we held on to each other
E5 A5
And the lovin' that we stole
A5 B5 E5
And the sighing of the pines
A5
Up here near the timberline
D5
Makes me wish I'd done things different
A5
Oh, but wishing don't make it so
B5 E5
Oh the time has passed so quick
A5
The years all run together now
D5
Did I hold Juanita yesterday
E5
Was it fifty years ago
(Instrumental
A5 D5 A5 E5 A5 )
Verse 3.
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
Repeat Chorus twice
