yeah
uh
wooh
huh
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 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 bout
glory days well they’ll pass you by
glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
glory days glory days
missing verse
my old man worked 0 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
missing
glory days yeah goin back
glory days aw he ain’t never had
glory days glory days
in fact i think i’m going down to the well tonight
and i’m gonna 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 yeah
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
