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 smoke was a smoke |
|
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 smoke was a smoke |
|
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" |
|
Alright |
|
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 wrong |
|
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 laughing 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' meant everything?" |
|
We were young and we were improvin' |
|
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" |
