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
