Well I lived on the
outskirts of town
In an eight room
farmhouse baby
When my brothers
and friends were around
There was always
somethin' doin'
Had me a couple of
real nice girlfriends
Stopped by to see me
every once in a while
When I think back
about those days
all I can do is
sit and smile
That's when a sport
was a sport
And groovin'
was groovin'
And dancin'
meant everything
We were young
and we were improvin'
Laughin', laughin'
with our friends
Holdin' hands
meant somethin' baby
Outside the club
"Cherry Bomb"
Our hearts
were really thumpin'
say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
The winter days
they last forever
But the weekends
went by so quick
Went ridin' around
this little country town
We were goin' nuts, girl
out in the sticks
One night
me with my big mouth
A couple guys
had to put me
in my place
When I see
those guys these days
We just laugh and say
do you remember when
That's when a sport
was a sport
And groovin'
was groovin'
And dancin'
meant everything
We were young
and we were improvin'
Laughin', laughin'
with our friends
Holdin' hands
meant somethin' baby
Outside the club
"Cherry Bomb"
Our hearts
were really thumpin'
say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
Seventeen was
turned thirty-five
I'm surprised
that we're still livin'
If we've done
any wrong
I hope that
we're forgiven
Got a few kids
of my own
And some days
I don't know what to do
I hope that they're not
laughing too loud
When they hear me
talkin' like
this to you
That's when a sport
was a sport
And groovin'
was groovin'
And dancin'
meant everything
We were young
and we were improvin'
Laughin', laughin'
with our friends
Holdin' hands
meant somethin' baby
Outside the club
"Cherry Bomb"
Our hearts
were really thumpin'
say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
