Glory Days Written by - Bruce Springsteen From - Born In the U.S.A. Peaked at #5 - 8/85 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 and he was walking out We went back inside, sat down, had a few drinks But all hr kept talking about was Chorus: Glory days Well, thy'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 school she could turn all the boys' heads Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by and have 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 Chorus Think I'm going down to the well tonight And I'm gonna 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 But time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister But boring stories of glory days Chorus ©1984 Bruce Springsteen |
