I knew a buddy in high school, good at playing baseball
He could throw that ball, speedball down the plate
Make you look just like a fool
I met him in a bar last night, in a bar with a raincoat on
He was just talking about them glory days
He said "now them glory days are gone"
Yeah you just don't count
When you're from Stockton ???
My dad worked ??? just turned 59
There in the cold.... there was a job down, they tell him he's too old
Back in '59 he worked production on the Ford plant assembly line
Pluggin' in them... slappin' in them firewalls and windshields
Now they they don't give him piece of mind, Stockton
Yeah you just don't count
When you're from Stockton
This is a very early take of GLORY DAYS recorded in 1982-1983. An extra verse outtake also exists.
