[Verse 1]
---------------------
Am    G                  Am
  Well I lived on the outskirts of town
G                     Am
 In an eight room farmhouse, baby
G                            Am
 When my brothers and friends  were around
G                     Am
 There was always somethin' doin'

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Em                     Bm
  Had me a couple of real nice girlfriends
        Am                 C
Stopped by to see me every once in a while
Em                       Bm
  When I think back about  those days
Am              C
All I can do is sit and smile

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
G                   Am
 That's when a sport  was a sport
G                      Am
 And groovin' was groovin'
G                   Am
 And dancin' meant everything
G                    Am
 We were young and we  were improvin'
G                        Am
 Laughin', laughin' with our friends
G                    Am
 Holdin' hands meant somethin', baby
G                 Am
 Outside the club "Cherry Bomb"
G                Am
 Our hearts were really thumpin'
             G
Say yeah yeah yeah
Am                  G
  Say yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 2]
---------------------
G                     Am
 The winter days they last forever
G                        Am
 But the weekends went by  so quick
G                               Am
 Went ridin' around this little country town
G                             Am
 We were goin' nuts, girl, out  in the sticks

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Em                         Bm
  One night, me with my big  mouth
             Am                C
A couple guys  had to put me in my place
Em                     Bm
  When I see those guys  these days
        Am                   C
We just laugh and say do you remember when

Am                  G
  Say yeah yeah yeah
Am                  G Am
  Say yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 3]
---------------------
G                    Am
 Seventeen has turned  thirtyfive
G                        Am
 I'm surprised that we're  still livin'
G               Am
 If we've done any wrong
G                 Am
 I hope that we're  forgiven

[Pre-Chorus (3)]
---------------------
Em                 Bm
  Got a few kids of  my own
    Am                           C
And some days I still don't know what to do
Em                             Bm
  I hope that they're not laughing too loud
          Am
When they hear me talkin'
     C
Like this to you

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
G                   Am
 That's when a sport  was a sport
G                      Am
 And groovin' was groovin'
G                   Am
 And dancin' meant everything
G                    Am
 We were young and we  were improvin'
G                        Am
 Laughin', laughin' with our friends
G                    Am
 Holdin' hands meant somethin', baby
G                 Am
 Outside the club "Cherry Bomb"
G                Am
 Our hearts were really thumpin'
             G
Say yeah yeah yeah
Am              G   Am
  Say yeah yeah yeah
