Cherry Bomb Lyrics

Artist: John Mellencamp
Album: Best That I Could

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 doinHad 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:
Thats when sport was a sport
And groovin was groovinAnd dancin meant everything
We were young and we were improvinLaughtin laughtin with our friends
Holding hands meant somethin baby
Outside the club "Cherry Bomb"
Where our hearts were really thumpinSay 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:
Thats when sport was a sport
And groovin was groovinAnd dancin meant everything
We were young and we were improvinLaughtin laughtin with our friends
Holding hands meant somethin baby
Outside the club "Cherry Bomb"
Where our hearts were really thumpinSay yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

Seventeen has turned thirty-five
Im surprised that were still livinIf weve done any wrong
I hope that were forgiven
Got a few kids on my own
And some days I still dont know
What to do
I hope that theyre not laughtin too
Loud, when they hear me talkin like This to you

CHORUS:
Thats when sport was a sport
And groovin was groovinAnd dancin meant everything
We were young and we were improvinLaughtin laughtin with our friends
Holding hands meant so much baby
Outside the club "Cherry Bomb"
Where our hearts were really thumpinSay yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

The older I get, the more the lyrics mean to me! John Mellancamp and I came from the same era and a I can relate to a lot of his songs!
