GLORY DAYS^©

Live 07 Mar 2003 version

Whoa!
Rock that big boys ???

Well 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, all he kept talking about was

Glory days
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, she lives up the block, back in school she could turn all the boys' heads, whoa!
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by and have a few drinks with her after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby, well they split up, must be ten 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
They'll pass you by, glory days
In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days
Glory days (Steve: Yeah)

Let it mistro!
Go people!
(crowd: Whoa) Woops!

Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight, I'm gonna drink until I get my fill
Well I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it, but I probably will
Just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of
Time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister but boring stories of

Glory days
They'll pass you by, glory days
In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days
Glory days (Steve: Yeah)
Whoa!
(They'll) pass you by, glory days
In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days
(Steve: Oh boy) Glory days

Well alright!
Oh yeah!

Come on Steve! (Steve: Yeah)
We gotta keep rocking baby! (Steve: Oh, tables are waiting)
What? (Steve: Tables are waiting)
Yeah? Steve wants to make it to that crab table (Steve: Yeah)
And I got me a big suite, I got a Jacuzzi in my living room up there (Steve: Totally, oh yeah)
And a hosts of adult erotica on the television
What is it baby?
We have been playing a long time (Steve: ??? keep going)
I think there's a curfew too
I think I got a cheeseburger waiting
I think I do
Good night everybody

Alright!
Alright!
Alright!
Alright!
Alright!
