I had a friend who 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

glory days well they'll pass you by
glory days in the wink of a young girls eye
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 its 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

chorus

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 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 going back
glory days awe 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 tI'll I get my fI'll
and I hope when I get old
I don't sit around thinking about it
but I probably wI'll
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

chorus {repeat twice}

well alright ooh yeah
well alright come on now
well alright ooh yeah
well alright come on now
whoo hoo whoo hoo
whoo hoo whoo hoo
all right boys
keep them rocking now
keep on going
we're coming home now
