John Mellencamp Cherry Bomb Lyrics

Cherry Bomb 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
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
