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
Chorus:
That´s when sport was a sport
And groovin´ was groovin´
and dancin´ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin´
laughtin´ laughtin´ with our friends
Holding hands meant somethin´ baby
Outside the club "cherry bomb"
Where our hearts were really thumpin´
say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
The winter days they last forever
And the weekends went by so quick
We ridin´ around this little country town
We were goin´ nuts, girl, out in the stick
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
Remember when
Chorus:
That´s when sport was a sport
And groovin´ was groovin´
and dancin´ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin´
laughtin´ laughtin´ with our friends
Holding hands meant somethin´ baby
Outside the club "cherry bomb"
Where our hearts were really thumpin´
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 on my own
And some days i still don´t know
What to do
I hope that they´re not laughtin´ too
Loud, when they hear me talkin´ like this to you
Chorus:
That´s when sport was a sport
And groovin´ was groovin´
and dancin´ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin´
laughtin´ laughtin´ with our friends
Holding hands meant so much baby
Outside the club "cherry bomb"
Where our hearts were really thumpin´
say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
