Cherry Bomb / John Cougar Mellencamp

Cherry Bomb    - John Cougar Mellencamp -               Well I lived on the outskirts of town              In a 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 while              When I think back about those days              All I can do is sit and smile              That's when a smoke was a smoke              And groovin' was groovin'              And dancin' meant everything              We were young and we were improvin'              Laughin', laughin' with our friends              Holdin' hands meant somethin' baby              Outside the club, cherry bomb              Our hearts were really thumpin'               Say yeah yeah yeah              Say yeah yeah yeah              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                        Say yeah yeah yeah              Say yeah yeah yeah              Seventeen has turned thirty-five              I'm suprised 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 laughin' too loud              When they hear me talkin'              Like this to you
