JOHN MELLENCAMP - Cherry Bomb lyrics

rate me

Well I lived on the outskirts of town<br>In an eight room farmhouse, baby<br>When my brothers and friends were around<br>There was always somethin´ doin´<br>had me a couple of real nice girlfriends<br>Stopped by to see me every once in a while<br>When I think back about those days<br>All I can do is sit and smile<br><br>Chorus:<br>That´s when sport was a sport<br>And groovin´ was groovin´<br>and dancin´ meant everything<br>We were young and we were improvin´<br>laughtin´ laughtin´ with our friends<br>Holding hands meant somethin´ baby<br>Outside the club cherry bomb<br>Where our hearts were really thumpin´<br>say yeah yeah yeah<br>Say yeah yeah yeah<br><br>The winter days they last forever<br>And the weekends went by so quick<br>We ridin´ around this little country town<br>We were goin´ nuts, girl, out in the stick<br>One night me with my big mouth<br>A couple guys had to put me in my place<br>When I see those guys these days<br>We just laugh and say<br>Remember when<br><br>Chorus:<br>That´s when sport was a sport<br>And groovin´ was groovin´<br>and dancin´ meant everything<br>We were young and we were improvin´<br>laughtin´ laughtin´ with our friends<br>Holding hands meant somethin´ baby<br>Outside the club cherry bomb<br>Where our hearts were really thumpin´<br>say yeah yeah yeah<br>Say yeah yeah yeah<br><br>Seventeen has turned thirty-five<br>I´m surprised that we´re still livin´<br>if we´ve done any wrong<br>I hope that we´re forgiven<br>Got a few kids on my own<br>And some days I still don´t know<br>What to do<br>I hope that they´re not laughtin´ too<br>Loud, when they hear me talkin´ like this to you<br><br>Chorus:<br>That´s when sport was a sport<br>And groovin´ was groovin´<br>and dancin´ meant everything<br>We were young and we were improvin´<br>laughtin´ laughtin´ with our friends<br>Holding hands meant so much baby<br>Outside the club cherry bomb<br>Where our hearts were really thumpin´<br>say yeah yeah yeah<br>Say yeah yeah yeah
