Cherry Bomb Lyrics

Official lyrics for Cherry Bomb, performed by 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 Chorus: That´s when sport was a sport And groovin´ was groovin´ and dancin´ meant everything We were young and we were improvin´ laughtin´ laughtin´ with our friends Holding hands meant somethin´ baby Outside the club "cherry bomb" Where our hearts were really thumpin´ say yeah yeah yeah Say yeah yeah yeah The winter days they last forever And the weekends went by so quick We ridin´ around this little country town We were goin´ 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: That´s when sport was a sport And groovin´ was groovin´ and dancin´ meant everything We were young and we were improvin´ laughtin´ laughtin´ with our friends Holding hands meant somethin´ baby Outside the club "cherry bomb" Where our hearts were really thumpin´ 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 on my own And some days i still don´t know What to do I hope that they´re not laughtin´ too Loud, when they hear me talkin´ like this to you Chorus: That´s when sport was a sport And groovin´ was groovin´ and dancin´ meant everything We were young and we were improvin´ laughtin´ laughtin´ with our friends Holding hands meant so much baby Outside the club "cherry bomb" Where our hearts were really thumpin´ say yeah yeah yeah Say yeah yeah yeah
