John Mellencamp - Cherry Bomb Lyrics
Well I lived on the outskirts of townIn an eight room farmhouse, babyWhen my brothers and friends were aroundThere was always somethin doinhad me a couple of real nice girlfriendsStopped by to see me every once in a whileWhen I think back about those daysAll I can do is sit and smileChorus:Thats when sport was a sportAnd groovin was groovinand dancin meant everythingWe were young and we were improvinlaughtin laughtin with our friendsHolding hands meant somethin babyOutside the club cherry bombWhere our hearts were really thumpinsay yeah yeah yeahSay yeah yeah yeahThe winter days they last foreverAnd the weekends went by so quickWe ridin around this little country townWe were goin nuts, girl, out in the stickOne night me with my big mouthA couple guys had to put me in my placeWhen I see those guys these daysWe just laugh and sayRemember whenChorus:Thats when sport was a sportAnd groovin was groovinand dancin meant everythingWe were young and we were improvinlaughtin laughtin with our friendsHolding hands meant somethin babyOutside the club cherry bombWhere our hearts were really thumpinsay yeah yeah yeahSay yeah yeah yeahSeventeen has turned thirty-fiveIm surprised that were still livinif weve done any wrongI hope that were forgivenGot a few kids on my ownAnd some days I still dont knowWhat to doI hope that theyre not laughtin tooLoud, when they hear me talkin like this to youChorus:Thats when sport was a sportAnd groovin was groovinand dancin meant everythingWe were young and we were improvinlaughtin laughtin with our friendsHolding hands meant so much babyOutside the club cherry bombWhere our hearts were really thumpinsay yeah yeah yeahSay yeah yeah yeah
