Glory Days lyrics

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

Glory days

Well they'll pass you by
Glory days

In the wink of
a young girl's eye
Glory days
Glory days...

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

Glory days

Well they'll pass you by
Glory days

In the wink of
a young girl's eye
Glory days
Glory days...

I think I'm
going down to
the well tonight
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

Well they'll pass you by
Glory days

In the wink of
a young girl's eye
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...
