Thirty Again by Merle Haggard Lyrics

Youth should be saved for the last
But it's wasted on the young and the fast
But I wish I could go back in time to a faster time back then
And I wish I could just be thirty again

I know thirty seems old to a child
But to me it seems crazy and wild
There’s so many places that a young man ain't been
And I wish I could just be thirty again

Wish I could be thirty again
Wish time didn't wrinkle my skin
They say life starts at fifty, we’ve been lied to, my friend
And I wish I could just be thirty again

Wish I could be thirty again
Wish time didn't wrinkle my skin
There's so many places that a young man ain't been
And I wish I could just be thirty again

Aw, just to be thirty
