Song Wedgie

Song: Glory Days
Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Album: Born In The U.S.A
Release: 1985

This song reminds me of my brother, Frankcis. He once had a walk-off hit in a beer league softball game. During the post-game celebration at the bar, we played Glory Days over and over again on the jukebox.

The single peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles charts in the summer of 1985. [Wikipedia]

Lyrics:
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 inand he was walking out We went back inside sat down, had a few drinks butall he kept talking about was Glory days well they’ll pass you by Glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye Glory days, glory days There’s a girl that lives up the block back in schoolshe could turn all the boys’ heads Sometimes on a Friday I’ll stop by and have a few drinksafter 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 Think I’m going down to the well tonight and I’m going to drinktill I get my fill And I hope when I get old I don’t sit around thinking about itbut I probably will Yeah just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of,but time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister butboring stories of glory days
