Well, I lived on the
outskirts of town
In an eight room
farmhouse, baby
With my brothers and
some friends were around
There was always
something doing
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 grooving was
grooving
And dancing meant
everything
We were young and we
were improving
Laughing, laughing with
our friends
Holding hands meant
something, baby
Outside the Club Cherry
Bomb
Our hearts were really
thumping
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah
The winter days they
last forever
But the weekends went by
so quick
Went riding around
this little country town
We were going 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 grooving was
grooving
And dancing meant
everything
We were young and we
were improving
Laughing, laughing with
our friends
Holding hands meant
something, baby
Outside the Club Cherry
Bomb
Our hearts were really
thumping
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah
---- Instrumental
Interlude ----
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah
Seventeen has turned
thirty-five
I`m surprised that we`re
still living
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
talking like this to you
That`s when a sport
was a sport
And grooving was
grooving
And dancing meant
everything
We were young and we
were improving
Laughing, laughing with
our friends
Holding hands meant so
much, baby
Outside the Club Cherry
Bomb
Our hearts were really
thumping
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say, yeah, yeah, yeah
