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 inand he was walking out

We went back inside sat down, had a few drinks butall he kept talking about wasCHORUS:

Glory days well they'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 schoolshe could turn all the boys' heads

Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by and have a few drinksafter 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

Think I'm going down to the well tonight and I'm going to drinktill I get my fill

And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about itbut 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 butboring stories of glory days
