Glory Days

[Verse 1]

I had a friend was a big baseball player

Back in high school

He could throw that speedball by you

Make you look like a fool boy

Saw him the other night at this roadside bar

I was walking in, he was walking out

We went back inside sat down had a few drinks

But all he kept talking about was

[Chorus]

Glory days well they'll pass you by

Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

[Verse 2]

Well there's a girl that lives up the block

Back in school she could turn all the boy's heads

Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by

And have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed

Her and her husband Bobby well they split up

I guess it's two years gone by now

We just sit around talking about the old times

She says when she feels like crying

She starts laughing thinking about

[Chorus]

Glory days well they'll pass you by

Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

[Verse 3]

My old man worked 20 years on the line

And they let him go

Now everywhere he goes out looking for work

They just tell him that he's too old

I was 9 nine years old and he was working at the

Metuchen Ford plant assembly line

Now he just sits on a stool down at the legion hall

But I can tell what's on his mind

[Chorus]

Glory days yeah goin' back

Glory days aw he ain't never had

Glory days, glory days

[Verse 4]

Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight

And I'm going to drink till I get my fill

And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it

But I probably will

Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture

A little of the glory of, well time slips away

And leaves you with nothing mister but

Boring stories of glory days

[Chorus]

Glory days well they'll pass you by

Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

Glory days well they'll pass you by

Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days
