Glory Days

Glory Days Lyrics

Glory Days Song Lyrics

---

[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
