Cherry bomb de John Mellencamp

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
