Cherry Bomb Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

Well I lived on the outskirts of town 

In an eight room farmhouse, baby 

When my brothers and friends were around 

There was always something' 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 a sport was a sport 

And groovin' was groovin' 

And dancin' meant everything 

We were young and we were improvin' 

Laughin', laughin' with our friends 

Holdin' hands meant so much, 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 

CHORUS 

Seventeen has turned thirty-five 

I'm surprised that we're still ivin' 

If we've done any wrong 

I hope that we're forgiven 

Got a few kids of 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 

CHORUS
