Well I lived on
The outskirts
Of town
In an eight room
Farmhouse baby
With my brothers
And friends 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 smoke
Was a smoke and
Groovin' was groovin'
And dancin' was
Everything
We were young
And we were lmprovin'
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
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 smoke
Was a smoke and
Groovin' was groovin'
And dancin' was
Everything
We were young
And we were lmprovin'
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
Seventeen has turned
Thirty-five
I'm surprised that
We're still livin'
If we've done any harm
(I hope that)
(We're forgiven)
Got a few kids
Of my own
And some days
I still don't know
What to do
I hope that they're not
Laughin' too loud
When they hear me
Talkin' like this to you
That's when a smoke
Was a smoke and
Groovin' was groovin'
And dancin' was
Everything
We were young
And we were lmprovin'
Laughin' laughin'
With our friends
Holdin' hands meant
So much baby
Outside the Club
Cherry Bomb
Our hearts were
Really thumpin'
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
