oh yeah
come on
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
glory days well they'll pass you by
glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
glory days
glory days
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 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 about
glory days well they'll pass you by
glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
glory days
glory days
(all right boys, watch your weight)
now i think i'm going down to the well tonight
and i'm going to 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 of the glory of
well 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 yeah they'll pass you by
glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
glory days
glory days

The song is true though. Those who did have "glory" usually are the ones who recount story after (boring) story. And that gets old. And he's right, too...as much as you don't want to talk about your younger days, you most likely will.
