1. 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  
   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

   A                 D
R: Glory days well they'll pass you by
   A                     D
   Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
   A           E
   Glory days, glory days
   
2. 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 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

R: Glory days well they'll pass you by...

3. 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 nine 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
   
4. 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 glory of, well time slips away
   and leaves you with nothing mister but
   boring stories of glory days

R: Glory days well they'll pass you by... (2x)
