Glory Days

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 Glory days well theyll pass you by Glory days in the wink of a young girls eye Glory days, glory days Well theres a girl that lives up the block back in school she could turn all the boys heads Sometimes on a Friday Ill 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 its 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 Glory days well theyll pass you by Glory days in the wink of a young girls eye Glory days, glory days 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 hes 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 whats on his mind Glory days yeah goin back Glory days aw he aint never had Glory days, glory days Now I think Im going down to the well tonight and Im going to drink till I get my fill And I hope when I get old I dont 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 Glory days well theyll pass you by Glory days in the wink of a young girls eye Glory days, glory days Glory days well theyll pass you by Glory days in the wink of a young girls eye Glory days, glory days
