Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Glory days, well, they'll pass you by

Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

[Verse 2]

Well, 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 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 'bout the old times

She says when she feels like cryin'

She starts laughing thinkin' 'bout

[Chorus]

Glory days, yeah, they'll pass you by

Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

[Verse 3]

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 sittin' back tryin' to recapture

A little of the glory, yeah

Well, the time slips away

Leaves you with nothing, mister, but

Boring stories of

[Chorus]

Glory days, yeah, they'll pass you by

Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

[Chorus]

Yeah, they'll pass you by

Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

[Outro]

Well, alright

Ooh, yeah

Well, alright

Come on now (Ooh, yeah)

Well, alright

Ooh, yeah

Alright

Come on now

Alright, boys

Keep it rockin' now

Keep on goin'

We gonna go home now

Bring it home

Yeah

Bring it home

Alright, well, alright

Well, alright, well, alright

Well, alright, well, alright

Well, alright, well, alright

Let's go
