Cherry Bomb — текст песни (John Mellencamp)

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` 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

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 somethin`, baby
Outside the clubCherry 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

Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah

Seventeen has turned thirty-five
I`m surprised that we`re still livin`
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 laughing too loud
When they hear me talkin`
Like this to you

Chorus
