When I go home for Christmas I've done made up my mind Gonna do some things I wish I'd done back once upon a time Everybody in the whole place is gonna know my name I'll blow in like a hurricane and then blow out just the same
Paint "Seniors" on the water tower I got the paint, I got the power Do everything that I wish I'd done back then Better late than never they say Can't let the moment slip away I'm gonna finally take my chances when I go home again
Gonna call old Frankie Walker and ask him if he might Meet me at the dragstrip and he can eat my dust tonight I'm gonna look up Laura what's her name and finally make it clear I studied every square inch of her legs our junior year
Everybody's got some things they wish they'd said or done I'm gonna do my best to do 'em everyone
Gonna finall tell my mama about that Friday night I didn't trip and fall, I got that shiner in a fight And if I get my courage up I might just spill the beans And tell her all the details about the night I turned eighteen
