Lyrics

Oh, 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, they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days (ooh, ooh, ooh)

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, they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
Oh, we just sit around talking about the old times
She says when she feels like crying
She starts laughing thinking about

Glory days, they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days, ooh

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ay, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
Ay, ay-ay, ay-ay-ay-ah

I think I'm going down to the other night
I'm going to drink 'til I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
But I know 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, they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

Glory, glory days, they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days, yeah

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, yeah, yeah (ooh)
Lord, yeah, yeah (ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Glory, glory
(Ooh, ooh, ooh) yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh), ah, yeah!
Ay-ay-ay-ay, yeah
