I had a friend was a big baseball player back in 
highschool
He could throw that speedball by ya, 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 we kept talking about


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


There was a girl that lives up the block, back in school 
she could turn all the boys heads
Sometimes on 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
We just sit around talking about the old times, she says 
when she feels like crying she starts laughing thinking  
                                                                          about


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


Think I'm going down to the well tonight and I'm gonna 
drink till I get` my fill
I hope when I get older 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 the time slips away and leaves you with nothing, 
mister, but boring  stories of


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


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