Lyrics[]
- 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, 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 boy's heads
- Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
- And have a few drinks after 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
- Glory days, well, they'll pass you by
- Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
- Glory days, glory days
- My old man worked twenty years on the line
- And they let him go
- Now everywhere he goes out looking for work
- They just tell him that he's too old
- I was nine years old and he was working at the
- Metuchen Ford plant assembly line
- Now he just sits on a stool down at the Legion hall
- But I can tell what's on his mind
- Glory days yeah goin back
- Glory days aw he ain't never had
- Glory days, glory days
- Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
- And I'm going to drink till 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 time slips away
- And leaves you with nothing mister but
- Boring stories of glory days
- Glory days, well, they'll pass you by
- Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
- Glory days, glory days
- Glory days, well, they'll pass you by
- Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
- Glory days, glory days
