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 20 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 9 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 x 2
