Well I lived on the outskirts of town
In an eight room farmhouse, baby
When my brothers and friends were around
There was always somethinґ doinґ
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:
Thatґs when sport was a sport
And groovinґ was groovinґ
and dancinґ meant everything
We were young and we were improvinґ
laughtinґ laughtinґ with our friends
Holding hands meant somethinґ baby
Outside the club cherry bomb
Where our hearts were really thumpinґ
say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

The winter days they last forever
And the weekends went by so quick
We ridinґ around this little country town
We were goinґ 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:
Thatґs when sport was a sport
And groovinґ was groovinґ
and dancinґ meant everything
We were young and we were improvinґ
laughtinґ laughtinґ with our friends
Holding hands meant somethinґ baby
Outside the club cherry bomb
Where our hearts were really thumpinґ
say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

Seventeen has turned thirty-five
Iґm surprised that weґre still livinґ
if weґve done any wrong
I hope that weґre forgiven
Got a few kids on my own
And some days I still donґt know
What to do
I hope that theyґre not laughtinґ too
Loud, when they hear me talkinґ like this to you

Chorus:
Thatґs when sport was a sport
And groovinґ was groovinґ
and dancinґ meant everything
We were young and we were improvinґ
laughtinґ laughtinґ with our friends
Holding hands meant so much baby
Outside the club cherry bomb
Where our hearts were really thumpinґ
say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
