Verse 1.
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

Verse 2. 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 Chorus: 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 (Instrumental ö A D A E A) 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
