Glory Days lyrics

I had a friend, was a big baseball player

Back in high school

He could throw that speed ball 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 boys' heads

Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by and have a few drinks

After she put her kids to bed

Her and 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 until 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, the times slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister

But boring stories of

Glory days, yeah, they'll pass you by

Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

Yeah, they'll pass you by

Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days
