John Mellencamp – Cherry Bomb Lyrics  Share

From John Mellencamp's album: The Lonesome Jubilee

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 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 club"Cherry 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
[ Cherry Bomb lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/john-mellencamp/cherry-bomb/ ]
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]
