Versuri 10. 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  
 
Chorus:  
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  
 
Chorus  
 
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  
 
Glory days yeah goin back  
Glory days aw he ain't never had  
Glory days, glory days  
 
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 (repeat twice)
