Cherry Bomb - Lyrics by John Mellencamp


Lyrics
Well I lived on the outskirts of town
In an eight room farmhouse, baby
When my brothers and friends were around
There was always somethin
´ doin
´had me a couple of real nice girlfriends
Stopped by to see me every once in a while
When I think back about those days
All I can do is sit and smile
Chorus:
That
´s when sport was a sport
And groovin
´ was groovin
´and dancin
´ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin
´laughtin
´ laughtin
´ with our friends
Holding hands meant somethin
´ baby
Outside the club cherry bomb
Where our hearts were really thumpin
´say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
The winter days they last forever
And the weekends went by so quick
We ridin
´ around this little country town
We were goin
´ nuts, girl, out in the stick
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
Remember when
Chorus:
That
´s when sport was a sport
And groovin
´ was groovin
´and dancin
´ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin
´laughtin
´ laughtin
´ with our friends
Holding hands meant somethin
´ baby
Outside the club cherry bomb
Where our hearts were really thumpin
´say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
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 on my own
And some days I still don
´t know
What to do
I hope that they
´re not laughtin
´ too
Loud, when they hear me talkin
´ like this to you
Chorus:
That
´s when sport was a sport
And groovin
´ was groovin
´and dancin
´ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin
´laughtin
´ laughtin
´ with our friends
Holding hands meant so much baby
Outside the club cherry bomb
Where our hearts were really thumpin
´say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
