Here I am

Recommended Posts

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 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 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

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

Glory days yeah goin back
Glory days aw he ain't never had
Glory days, glory days

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

Billy... DUDE! I just awoke from the coolest dream!!!

We were doing karaoke together: my selection being a lovely ballad by Air Supply. The song begins, but somehow the machine starts spitting out Springsteen lyrics on the prompter. And on cue, you go off, belting out some serious 80's beer-and-peanuts rock 'n roll, totally in macho-denim-vest character over the somber piano-and-strings coming over the PA to which you're completely oblivious.

And the crowd cheered you on.

That was the coolest dream I've had since the one where billvon was giving me a ride to the DZ in his new H2... and I was naked!

My Mom used to tell me that taking acid before bed was NO good. Thank you for proving it. ;)



My mom used to slip me acid in my before-bed-snack when I'd steadfastly refuse to "see God." I subsequently became a devout and loyal Christian.

Good thing the flashbacks finally stopped: I feel like I can finally kill again. We gotta get outta here! Yeah... before he lets loose the marmosets on us! Don't worry, little missie... I'll save you!!!

man, something is SERIOUSLY wrong w/ you... hear you are quoting Air Supply and you think I'M the closet HOMO???:S



And here you are, the consummate jedi master of the written word, using "hear" instead of "here" whilst flinging accusations about suppressed homosexual tendencies at others.

A bit edgy, perhaps? Tell me about your mother...

I know that Arthur, I was more interested in knowing how he knew the lyrics in the 1st place:)

lol!!! yeah, I'm sure sucky at typing sometimes, eh? I blame it on the topomax, which fucks up the language centers of my brain pretty bad... it's good for migraine prophylaxis, but neurologists often refer to it is "dope-amax" b/c it has a tendency of dumbing down patients.

but no, I'm not edgy, just found it funny to HEAR you singing Air Supply of all things...

Now, if Maynard did Air Supply, perhaps then I'd follow along, but not until...

DING DING DING!!! We have a winner! :D It's amazing what search words can do. Only two clicks to find the lyrics... B|

Actually, Squeak, I followed a lot of the rock and roll music in the 80's when I was more hard of hearing than deaf. Springsteen was one of the bands I liked. I don't listen to music anymore as my ears have gotten progressively worse. Maybe the huge bass woofers behind the seat in my truck had something to do with it... :S

By the way, "Glory Days" was the soundtrack for my high school reunion's highlight reel at the 10 year reunion... I'm already looking forward to the 20 year reunion next year. Only thing is I'll be saying "what?" a lot more often... :D
