Lyricist: Bruce Springsteen
Lyrics:
I had a friend was a big baseball player
back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
but all he kept talking about was
Chorus:
Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days
Well there's a girl that lives up the block
back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
she says when she feels like crying
she starts laughing thinking about
Chorus
My old man worked 20 years on the line
and they let him go
Now everywhere he goes out looking for work
they just tell him that he's too old
I was 9 nine years old and he was working at the
Metuchen Ford plant assembly line
Now he just sits on a stool down at the Legion hall
but I can tell what's on his mind
Glory days yeah goin back
Glory days aw he ain't never had
Glory days, glory days
Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
and I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
but I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of glory days
Chorus (repeat twice)
Review:
About as complete a selection of fan and artist
favorites as any single-disc Bruce collection
could be, this is a surprisingly coherent listen
given the many stylistic and attitudinal shifts it
charts. The inclusion of only four of Born in the
U.S.A.'s seven Top 10 entries leaves space for
less obvious choices like "Atlantic City" and four
new cuts, among them songs recorded by a briefly
reunited E Street Band. The pace lags a bit near
the end--"Secret Garden" is turgid enough to take
its place on a Sting album--but Greatest Hits
earns its place in the car CD player with stuff
like "Born to Run," "The River" and "Dancing in
the Dark." --Rickey Wright
