Glory Days - 1955

Don’t know where it was I woke up today

Two green eyes and a handful of lace

Never imagined life would turn out this way

But these may be the glory days

I saved enough to buy my baby a car

My baby had a baby and now here we are

We live with Johnny who repeatedly claims

That these may be the glory days

Said yeah, these surely are the glory days

In the heat of the nights

I look at you darling, and I realize

That every new lights

Is a day, is a day somebody else left behind

Every day is a glory day

Looked through the mirror, I said «who is that man?»

He really looks like someone who has a plan

«The jokes on us» I heard him say

These may be what you call glory days

Yeah, go ahead and call these glory days

In the heat of the nights

I look at you darling, and I realize

That every new lights

Is a day, is a day somebody else left behind

Every day is a glory day

You make an honest living and no one’s impressed

Just stay out of jail, they’ll call you a success

But the crooked motherfuckers you know always get paid

At least we have our glory days

Said yeah, at least we have our glory days

In the heat of the nights

I look at you darling, and I realize

That every new lights

Is a day, is a day somebody else left behind

Every day is a glory day

No matter what the others say

Every day, a glory day

Even if they go astray

Every day is a glory day
