Fifty Years Ago

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