Bruce Springsteen — Glory Days

[Intro] Yeah Uh Wooh Huh [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 about the old times She says when she feels like crying She starts laughing, thinking 'bout [Chorus] Glory days, well they'll pass you by Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye Glory days, glory days [Missing Verse] 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 [Missing Chorus] Glory days, yeah goin back Glory days, aw he ain't never had Glory days, glory days [Verse 3] I think I'm going down to the well tonight 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, yeah Well time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister But boring stories of [Chorus] Glory days, well they'll pass you by Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye Glory days, glory days
