well..
i lived on the outskirts of town
in a ** farm house baby
and my brother's friends are around
there was always somethin doin

had me a couple of real nice girlfriends
stop by to see me every once in a while
when i think back about those days
all i could do is sit and smile

that's when a smoke was a smoke
and groovin was groovin
and dancin was everything
we were young and we were improving
laughin laughin with our friends
holdin hands meant somethin, baby
outside the club, cherry bomb
our hearts were really pumpin
say ya ya ya x2

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 street
one man he ** my big mouth
another guy had to put me in my place
when i see those guys these days
we just laugh and say "do you remember when.."

that's when a smoke was a smoke
and groovin was groovin
and dancin was everything
we were young and we were improving
laughin laughin with our friends
holdin hands meant somethin, baby
outside the club, cherry bomb
our hearts were really pumpin
say ya ya ya x4

seventeen has turned thirty-five
i'm surprised that we're still living
if we'd've done any harm
i'm hoping that we'd fall even
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 "here's to you"

that's when a smoke was a smoke
and groovin was groovin
and dancin was everything
we were young and we were improving
laughin laughin with our friends
holdin hands meant so much, baby
outside the club, cherry bomb
our hearts were really pumpin
say ya ya ya x2
