Soundtracks - Glory Days by Andra Day lyrics

[Verse 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 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 was [Chorus] Glory days well they'll pa** you by Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye Glory days, glory days [Verse 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 [Chorus] Glory days well they'll pa** you by Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye Glory days, glory days [Verse 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 a**embly line Now he just sits on a stool down at the legion hall But i can tell what's on his mind [Chorus] Glory days yeah goin back Glory days aw he ain't never had Glory days, glory days [Verse 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 [Chorus] Glory days well they'll pa** you by Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye Glory days, glory days Glory days well they'll pa** you by Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye Glory days, glory days
