>From album: The Lonesome Jubilee

Intro:  G   Am   G   Am   G   Am   G   Am  

Verse1:

G                    Am

Well, I lived on the outskirts of town

G                Am

In an eight room farm-house, baby

G                    Am

When my brothers and friends were around

G                Am

There was always something doin?

Em                      Bm

Had me a couple of real nice girlfriends

Am                   C

Stopped by to see me once in a while

Em                  Bm    

When I think back a-bout those days

Am              C                G

All I can do is sit and smile

Chorus:

G             Am

That?s when a sport was a sport

G                Am

And groovin? was groovin?

G                 Am

And dancin? meant everything

G                 Am  

We were young and we were improvin?

G                   Am

Laughin?, laughin?, with our friends

G                   Am

Holdin? hands meant somethin?, baby

G                 Am

Outside the club Cherry Bomb,

G               Am

Our hearts were really 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
