Glory Days

<br>I had a friend was a big baseball player <br>back in high school <br>He could throw that speedball by you <br>Make you look like a fool boy <br>Saw him the other night at this roadside bar <br>I was walking in, he was walking out <br>We went back inside sat down had a few drinks <br>but all he kept talking about was <br><br>Chorus: <br>Glory days well they`ll pass you by <br>Glory days in the wink of a young girl`s eye <br>Glory days, glory days <br><br>Well there`s a girl that lives up the block <br>back in school she could turn all the boy`s heads <br>Sometimes on a Friday I`ll stop by <br>and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed <br>Her and her husband Bobby well they split up <br>I guess it`s two years gone by now <br>We just sit around talking about the old times, <br>she says when she feels like crying <br>she starts laughing thinking about <br><br>Chorus <br><br>My old man worked 20 years on the line <br>and they let him go <br>Now everywhere he goes out looking for work <br>they just tell him that he`s too old <br>I was 9 nine years old and he was working at the <br>Metuchen Ford plant assembly line <br>Now he just sits on a stool down at the Legion hall <br>but I can tell what`s on his mind <br><br>Glory days yeah goin back <br>Glory days aw he ain`t never had <br>Glory days, glory days <br><br>Now I think I`m going down to the well tonight <br>and I`m going to drink till I get my fill <br>And I hope when I get old I don`t sit around thinking about it <br>but I probably will <br>Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture <br>a little of the glory of, well time slips away <br>and leaves you with nothing mister but <br>boring stories of glory days <br><br>Chorus (repeat twice)
