I

had

a

friend

was

a

big

base

-

ball

player

Back

in

high

school

He

could

throw

that

speed

-

ball

by

you

Make

you

look

like

a

fool

boy

Saw

him

the

oth-

er

night

at

this

road-

side

bar

I

was

walk-

ing

in,

he

was

walk-

ing

out

We

went

back

in-

side

sat

down

had

a

few

drinks

But

all

he

kept

talk-

ing

a-

bout

was

Glo-

ry

days,

well

they'll

pass

you

by

Glo-

ry

days,

in

the

wink

of

a

young

girl's

eye

Glo-

ry

days,

glo-

ry

days

Well

there's

a

girl

that

lives

up

the

block

Back

in

school

she

could

turn

all

the

boy's

heads

Some-

times

on

a

Fri-

day

I'll

stop

by

And

have

a

few

drinks

after

she

put

her

kids

to

bed

Her

and

her

hus-

band

Bob-

by

well

they

split

up

I

guess

it's

two

years

gone

by

now

We

just

sit

a-

round

talk-

ing

'bout

the

old

times

She

says

when

she

feels

like

cry-

ing

She

starts

laugh-

ing

think-

ing

bout

Glo-

ry

days,

well

they'll

pass

you

by

Glo-

ry

days,

in

the

wink

of

a

young

girl's

eye

Glo-

ry

days,

glo-

ry

days

In fact

I'm

going

down

to

the

well

to-

night

And

I'm

gon-

na

drink

till

I

get

my

fill

And

I

hope

when

I

get

old

I

don't

sit

a-

round

think-

ing

a-

bout

it

But

I

pro-

bab-

ly

will

Yeah,

just

sitt-

ing

back

trying

to

re-

cap-

ture

A lit-

tle

of

the

glo-

ry

yeah

Well

the

time

slips

a-

way

and

leaves

you

with

noth-

ing,

mis-

ter,

but

Bor-

ing

sto-

ries

of

Glo-

ry

days,

well

they'll

pass

you

by

Glo-

ry

days,

in

the

wink

of

a

young

girl's

eye

Glo-
