Verse1:
GWell, I lived on the Amoutskirts of town

EmHad me a couple of real Bmnice girlfriends
AmStopped by to see me Conce in a while
EmWhen I think back a-Bmbout those days
AmAll I can do is Csit and smile G
Chorus:
GThat's when a Amsport was a sport
GAnd groovin' was Amgroovin'
GAnd dancin' meant Ameverything
GWe were young and Amwe were improvin'
GLaughin', laughin', Amwith our friends
GHoldin' hands meant Amsomethin', baby
GOutside the club CAmherry Bomb,
GOur hearts were Amreally thumpin',
Am G Am/Am-/Am (quickly)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
(no chord) G Am
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Verse2:
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'
Repeat chorus
1/2 length intrumental chorus
Verse3:
Now, 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 laughin' too loud
When they hear me talkin' like this to you
Repeat chorus
