Cherry Bomb Lyrics

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 sport was a sport

 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



 Chorus



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



 Chorus
