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 inand he was walking out
We went back inside sat down, had a few drinks butall he kept talking about wasCHORUS:
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days
There's a girl that lives up the block back in schoolshe could turn all the boys' heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by and have a few drinksafter 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
Think I'm going down to the well tonight and I'm going to drinktill I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about itbut I probably will
Yeah just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of,but time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister butboring stories of glory days
