Looking back it's crystal clear
Just how wasted all the years
Denying how you got here
Your father gave you everything
Your mother almost smothering
They ruined you, yeah you know it's true

They said enjoy the ride now son
The best is yet to come
You blew it now you know
Your glory days are gone

In grade school you were such a clown
Taking all us losers down
They'd crown you, and surround you
Junior high you made the team
The brew crew and the teen machine
They made you elevate you

I know something you don't know
Cause hindsights on my side
You blew it now you know
Your glory days are gone

Threw a pass your junior year
That made the girls all shout and cheer
You made it, now how'd you break it?
Now you're tossing other things like garbage bags and magazines.
I know you
Do I know you?

there was a girl
Who loved you so
She gave you everything
Now where has she gone?

Leslie was the souvenir
Who hung around til senior year
she could've been the trophy wife
who could've helped you build the life
You traded in for nights of sin
For cheaper thrills and swigs of gin
You lost it all you lost it all
You lost it all

You said enjoy these days
Cause they're the best days of your life
You made that true and now
Your glory days are gone

Now you're on your second wife
Who left you for another life
Hey loser, did you lose her?
10 years in a dead end job
Remember you were such a snob
Now you're humble

Enjoy this time cause
Just your luck
You'll only make it worse
321 it's gone
Your glory days are gone
