Well I lived on the outskirts of town
In an eight room farmhouse, baby
When my brothers and friends were around
There was always somethinВґ doinВґ
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:
ThatВґs when sport was a sport
And groovinВґ was groovinВґ
and dancinВґ meant everything
We were young and we were improvinВґ
laughtinВґ laughtinВґ with our friends
Holding hands meant somethinВґ baby
Outside the club cherry bomb
Where our hearts were really thumpinВґ
say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
The winter days they last forever
And the weekends went by so quick
We ridinВґ around this little country town
We were goinВґ 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:
ThatВґs when sport was a sport
And groovinВґ was groovinВґ
and dancinВґ meant everything
We were young and we were improvinВґ
laughtinВґ laughtinВґ with our friends
Holding hands meant somethinВґ baby
Outside the club cherry bomb
Where our hearts were really thumpinВґ
say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
Seventeen has turned thirty-five
IВґm surprised that weВґre still livinВґ
if weВґve done any wrong
I hope that weВґre forgiven
Got a few kids on my own
And some days I still donВґt know
What to do
I hope that theyВґre not laughtinВґ too
Loud, when they hear me talkinВґ like this to you
Chorus:
ThatВґs when sport was a sport
And groovinВґ was groovinВґ
and dancinВґ meant everything
We were young and we were improvinВґ
laughtinВґ laughtinВґ with our friends
Holding hands meant so much baby
Outside the club cherry bomb
Where our hearts were really thumpinВґ
say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
