BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - Glory Days lyrics

rate me

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)<br><br>Assorted all rights, oh yeahs, come on nows, hoots, etc til fade
