Eighteen
Don Dokken John Norum Tim Bogert Gregg Bissonette Lyrics

Lines form on my face and hands
I am getting old and it's showing on my face and hands with wrinkles and creases.

Lines form from the ups and downs
Life has its share of ups and downs, and it's reflected in the lines on my face and hands.

I'm in the middle without any plans
I don't know what to do or where to go in my life right now, I am stuck in the middle without any direction.

I'm a boy and I'm a man
I may be 18, but I still feel like a boy at times while also feeling like I'm becoming a man.

I'm eighteen
I may be young, but I am no longer a child and am legally considered an adult at 18 years old.

And I don't know what I want
I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, as many people do at this age.

I just don't know what I want
I may have some ideas or dreams, but I am still unsure and confused about what I really want in life.

I gotta get away
I feel like I need a change of scenery or situation to help me figure out what I want or need in life.

I gotta get out of this place
I am unhappy or feeling stuck in my current situation or environment and need to leave to find clarity and purpose.

I'll go runnin in outer space
I want to escape or leave the confines of earth and its problems, perhaps through imagination or adventure.

I got a Baby's brain and an old man's heart
I may still have a youthful naivete, but I also feel jaded or experienced beyond my years in matters of the heart and psyche.

Took eighteen years to get this far
I have spent 18 years growing and developing to reach this point, but I still have a long way to go and a lot to learn.

Don't always know what I'm talkin' about
I may say things that sound good or right at the time, but I am not always sure of myself or what I'm saying.

Feels like I'm livin in the middle of doubt
I am uncertain and indecisive about many aspects of my life, and this causes me to feel anxious or insecure.

I get confused every day
I am often unsure or have doubts about myself and my choices, and this makes me feel confused or frustrated.

I just don't know what to say
I may have trouble expressing myself or finding the right words to say what I mean.

I'm in the middle
I am at a stage of life where I am not a child but not yet fully an adult, and I am still finding my way.

The middle of life
I am at a stage where I am not young and carefree anymore but not yet old and wise, I am in between.

I'm eighteen and I like it
Despite my uncertainties and confusion, I am still young and have my whole life ahead of me to figure things out and enjoy.

Yes I like it
I may not know what I want or where I'm going, but I still appreciate the fact that I am young and have time to explore and grow.

Oh I like it
My youth and freedom may be scary and uncertain, but they are also exhilarating and exciting.

Love it
I may not have everything figured out or have a solid plan, but I still love my life and my potential for the future.

Like it
Even with all the ups and downs and confusion, I still like where I am right now and who I am becoming.

Eighteen!
I am proud to be young and free, despite all the difficulties and uncertainties that come with it.
