The dreamer that I was as a child
My imagination running wild
Catching bad guys...saving ladies...like a cowboy does
If only I was older than I was...

Everybody wants to be twenty-one
Full of life and life full of fun
The young wish they were older...And the old wish they were young
Everybody wants to be twenty-one

18 years old and old enough to fight
Close enough to taste...and thirsty for the right
The winds of change just couldn't seem to blow quite strong enough
If only I was older than I was....

Everybody wants to be twenty-one
Full of life and life full of fun
The young wish they were older...And the old wish they were young
Everybody wants to be twenty-one

We were only children and the hourglass was full
We could barely feel the shifting of the sands
Now the children have all grown...with children of their own
If only I was younger than I am...

Everybody wants to be twenty-one
Full of life and life full of fun
The young wish they were older...And the old wish they were young
Everybody wants to be twenty-one

The young wish they were older...the old wish they were young
Seems like everybody wants to be twenty-one
