A                         D
I had a friend was a big baseball player
A               D
back in high school
A                     D
He could throw that speedball by you
A                     D
Make you look like a fool boy
E
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
              D
I was walking in, he was walking out
         E
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
    D                     E
but all he kept talking about was

Chorus:
       A                 D
Glory days well they'll pass you by
       A                     D
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
       A           E    A  D
Glory days, glory days

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

I think I'm going down to the well tonight
And 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, 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
Well alright, ooh yeah
Well alright, (Alright) come on now (oh, yeah)
Well alright (Alright), ooh yeah (oh, yeah)
Alright, (Alright) come on now (oh, yeah)
Wooh yeah (Alright), wooh yeah (oh yeah)
Wooh yeah (Ooh)
Alright boys, keep a-rockin' now

Bring it home, yeah

Alright, well alright
Well alright, well alright
Well alright, well alright
Alright, alright
