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



[Chorus]

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



[Repeat Chorus]



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
