Whoa!
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, but 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
But now there's a girl who lives up the block, back in school she could turn all boys' heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by, have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby, well, now they split up, I guess it's two years gone by now (Whoa)
??? she starts laughing, crying, thinking about
Glory days
They'll pass you by, glory days
In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days
Glory days
(Whoa)
Think I'm going down to the well tonight, I'm gonna drink until I get my fill
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 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
They'll pass you by, glory days
In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days
Glory days
